Hello Arnaud,

I use wget to index my site. Its a shell program that you can use to 
download and or mirror whole sites. You can tell it what 
file/directories to include or exclude. Here is a good page with lots of 
info: http://www.xyzzy.claranet.de/Wget.htm

It's probably already installed on your server, so can use screen and 
wget (if you have ssh access) and let it run on your server without 
using up your bandwidth. just move to a temp directory tmp>wget> and 
type: wget -nc -r http://domain.com/

and it will download a copy of the site into the dir you are in, and in 
the process index your pages.

It's probably possible to set it up in a cronjob.

Hope this helps,

Nate
