Sure... key in you CC number to 1-800-CRACKER and someone will be in touch
shortly  :)

So you want to see what hits his site is getting and then passing to you, and
compare it with what he says he's getting and passing to you?

Well, baring anything devious, I can't think of a foolproof way to do that
really.  Depending on how determined he might be, you can of course check
REFERER, or put hidden keys of some sort in the framesets.  If you have the
ability to rotate these keys at some level, you might be able to catch if
he's synthesizing requests.

That's a bit amorphous, I know.
