check logs
higher than average page requests from one source is suspicious.
Except if they come via gateways/proxies aol bt etc.

you can ban the ip for a while

Check referrers
you can ban by referer and / or by ip and referer better than robotes.txt

If you are realy certain you could build a litle "honey trap" make up a juicy company get a high rate phone number and keep them on hold for as long they would hold.

Alternatively generate a nice page explaining this without mentioning names... just we would never dream of calling..... blah blah...
please inform us immediately.... confirmation e-mail is a good place

just some ideas but make sure you're right first..... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
