I'm not going to set it up for anyone, although any competent web

server/sys admin should be able to do this, and if you are running a web

On Apache you can install the mod_rewrite module


http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html


An example of how to send spiders/browsers to a different part of your site

Spider detection [a spider is after all a browser, as far as your web
