Yeah, I've thought of designing the script to block Google Machine's IP which is 66.249.71.196 presently. But IP, 66.249.71.196 is discovered after the fact. I can design the script to deal with this particular IP. What if Google changes its Machine IP in future, or dynamically changes its IP. I'm back to square one. Any suggestion for a long term solution?	[reply]
