include ('badcode.inc')

badcode.inc looks at the HTTP_USER_AGENT, if it doesn't like it does a
header('Location: ')
to your "we don't want you as a customer" page, followed by
exit()
simple. You can probably deny access with mod_rewrite rules, also. That
may be quicker and more complete (the above only works with PHP pages,
obviously).
