Deciding how often to check for the /robots.txt depends highly on how
you run your robot: how many runs per week, how many documents when,
etc. I'd say a week is a reasoneable time. If your robot supports
end-user submissions you could of course be clever about people
submitting their /robots.txt URL; that would give them more influence.
