I have a robot that is looking for a page (the same page) every five minutes, without fail. Some have speculated that it is a monitor of some sort. The user agent is 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; EMonitor 6.0 Windows NT)' It is seeking a .cfm page that doesn't exist. The custom error page redirects it to the search page with a 301 permanent redirect and a 200 status for the search page. Yet, it continues to return ... every five minutes, looking for the same page. The biggest problem for me is that I get an email every time, letting me know of the original 404. Can I ban this bot with iis? I am not sure if the ip is static or not, so I would prefer to use the user agent. Is there a way to find if the ip is static?
