Can you elaborate here please?

- what does "if you put in /blah/dog" mean? put what in where?
- how is the web server told to do this
- is the web server aware it is being 'crawled' and
  differently?
- your example seems counter-intuitive ... there is no need to
  prevent a web crawler from indexing something in the file
  space
