[thelist] Block a Referring URL

[Dennis Lapcewich]

Are you referring to the concept where web site A links to web site B not
to their home page but a subordinate web page?  If so, it's called deep
linking.  Do a Google search on "deep linking."

FWIW, I hope your client has deep pockets.  The  case law is still evolving
on deep linking and legal beagle fees can be expensive.
