Cookies wouldn't work on some email grabber bot or offline downloader. And a
query string isn't how my site's software works.

I'm basically looking for something that simply would be able to say
index.php can't be called by anyone more than say so many times per second.
After that, it'll do a sleep command or output a "too many connections
page."
