I ended up with the following which is similar to your developer example: <pre><br /> # Custom 503 error page<br /> ErrorDocument 503 /maintenance.htm<br />  <br /> # Developer Address<br /> RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^192\.168\.1\.1$<br /> # Only rewrite pages that are dynamic (php, html, and directory index pages)<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(\/.*\.php|\/.*\.html|\/)$<br /> # Set environment variable for later<br /> RewriteRule .* - [E=maintain:1]<br />  <br /> # Send Retry-After header for clients that match above rewrite section<br /> Header always set Retry-After "7200" env=maintain<br />  <br /> # Send 503 error to matching clients after setting Retry-After header<br /> RewriteCond %{ENV:maintain} 1<br /> # Again, only send 503 for dynamic pages (php, html, and directory index pages)<br /> RewriteRule ^(\/.*\.php|\/.*\.html|\/)$ - [R=503]<br /> </pre> Hope someone finds that useful.

# Custom 503 error page
ErrorDocument 503 /maintenance.htm
 
# Developer Address
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^192\.168\.1\.1$
# Only rewrite pages that are dynamic (php, html, and directory index pages)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(\/.*\.php|\/.*\.html|\/)$
# Set environment variable for later
RewriteRule .* - [E=maintain:1]
 
# Send Retry-After header for clients that match above rewrite section
Header always set Retry-After "7200" env=maintain
 
# Send 503 error to matching clients after setting Retry-After header
RewriteCond %{ENV:maintain} 1
# Again, only send 503 for dynamic pages (php, html, and directory index pages)
RewriteRule ^(\/.*\.php|\/.*\.html|\/)$ - [R=503]

Hope someone finds that useful.

Comparing the data from Google Analytics, which I run myself, and from AWStats which the company that does my SEO sends me, I've noticed some very large discrepancies. I'm wondering if the SEO company is using autosurf or other kinds of bots to drive up the numbers. Is there any way to detect this? I'd appreciate any advice or direction anyone could provide. My email is grace618@aol.com. Thanks, Kim Good morning,
