How to stop site rippers on IIS?

[Jon_King]

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, (my site searches aren't giving me answers)... I am trying to stop site rippers on IIS servers similar to the way htaccess works on Apache. Is this possible?

Take a look at:

isapirewrite.com/

You can do this with IIS Rewrite [issrewrite.com...] it can do almost everything that htaccess can do.

Thanks much. My intention is to filter 20 or so user-agents, any idea how much this would slow response for the user?

The last time I made a major change to one of my sites, I tried using RewriteRules to redirect from my old URLs to the new ones. I had about 5000 rules, and it slowed down by about 0.2 seconds per request. ( I changed it so that my custom 404 script does these redirects...)

I'm currently running 11 RewriteRules, and I can't notice any speed difference at all. I don't think 20 rules would make any difference.

For that matter how can I do it in apache? I just fond a complete copy of my site at mydomain-info.com with my adsense changed for his own :(

I need one that detects leeching, perhaps by temp banning people that request mroe then x pages in y seconds. What's the best way to do that in httpd.conf? (I've never used .htaccess so I wouldn't know about that).

you say you don't know about .htaccess, but i think you should do some research on it, as it's the most popular way to do it (that i've seen). there's a million sites that can tell you how to set it up.
