Should we develop low-resource honeypots to exhaust crawler resources?

I'd start with hardening Gemini servers ...
The server I've written has a bunch of hard limits (in particular, on the duration of requests and the number of concurrent CGI processes). It might be advisable to add some more back-pressure for the case where user-agents are generating obviously redundant requests to an excessive degree. I'd put that before trying honeypots and blacklists.
