Apache question - how do you block your site from being surfed by someone using an anonymizer?

Obviously, it's pretty easy to block traffic from a 'no referer', but if the referer field is bogus....? And is there any way to make Apache somewhat intelligent about the IP addresses requesting information?
Your best bet is to try the Apache forums.

Not to mention, you should have posted in the software forum as well.
