filtering bogus UAs

Hi All,

What's the best way to drop traffic from bogus UAs?  I thought maybe
header-filter, but that doesn't seem to have any possibility to drop
the traffic.

Thanks
Tom

I decided to do some log analysis instead.  By bogus UAs I mostly
meant googlebots without googlebot.com PTRs etc etc.

What do you mean by "bogus UAs"?  Are you a closed intranet environment
with users who are banned from anything so exotic as browser preferences?
