the normal RSS feed is
and that breaks the RSS subscription data flow; ie any Pop3 email client can 'subscribe' to an RSS feed. To 'monitor' without control, place a fixed image in the feed, like the FAVICO.ico file reference. Now your server logs will contain an entry for each time it's served. Instead of the FAVICO.ico, which is served to every browser that accesses ANY content on the server, create your own gif in some other location, eg rss/rssaccessed.gifand each 'hit' was from a RSS subscription. |

Ah, clever.
Then, just look through the IP's of individuals who have accessed your .gif file and block the IP of who ever you don't want viewing your RSS feed? |
