I inherited a mess, so I have to work with the environment I have... but...

What would you say is a best solution for this problem.

I have two separate installs for DNN. One is for development / testing and the other is for live / production.

I never do a full publish, just the files that have been changed. I don't want the development site indexed by search engines, so the list guy that I replaced, put the meta no-index tags in the /default.aspx page. I didn't know this was the case and an third party developer asked for the file to be published. This caused a deindexing of our site.

Not worrying about an upgrade anytime soon, so i thought I would write a bit of code to check the domain and only put the no-index metas in on the development url.

Thoughts?

 I see two options.

A. Change robot.txt on the dev site and don't publish that to the live site.
B. Inject the meta tag using our skin object, if also has a filter on url, that way you only inject the meta tag if it's the test site.

The problem with upgrades is that you or someone else in the future most likely forgot about the code in default.aspx when the upgrade is done and you risk the dev site being indexed.
