title: How do I prevent Bing from swamping my site with traffic irregularly?
body: <p>Bingbot will hit my site pretty hard for a couple of hours each day, and will be extremely light for the rest of the time.  </p>
  
  <p>I'd either like to smooth out its crawls, reduce its rate limit, or block it altogether. It doesn't really send through any real visitors.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can smooth its crawling, or rate limit it?</p>
