Oi! Save your alpha testing for your friends' sites! Come back when you're ready with v. ... well, OK, at least 0.8.

That too.
I attempt to be polite with robots.txt set aside as a special case in the firewall so the dynamic robots.txt code will serve up permissions to anyone that asks. However, if you ask for robots.txt and are denied, and then request any other page from that user agent or IP address, you're also denied since the script enforces the robots.txt rules.
The reason I track the IP is some smart ass started asking for robots.txt using one user agent to test the waters then switched the user agent when asking for pages so I started tracking the IPs making the robots.txt requests if they're denied :)
The data center blocking, which includes rackspace, applies to all other files :)
It's complicated yet so simple.

Your system is far more sophisticated than mine. :)
My IIS system (sans htaccess) can only intercept IPs and headers on ASP page access. Far too late for me to change it now. :(

That PUNK came from a new IP today: 198.101.170.228
Wondering if they're in the cloud.

Don't care. Rackspace: blocked 198.101.128/17 :)
Does rackspace operate a cloud? If so, where? What IPs?
