RE: Spidering

This doesn't answer your question, but in regard to the validity of the technique, understand that an easy way to 
thwart these efforts (as far as IIS is concerned) is to edit your ISAPI extensions and have the ASP.DLL parse your 
.HTM(L) pages as well and just rename your .asp pages to .htm -- that way they will provide dynamic content the same 
way, but will have .htm extensions (in IIS7, you'll use a handler mappings) so that people will not (immediately) know 
they are dynamic pages by extention...
