The Googlebot and Sessionid's

Dontom posted the following code over at vB.com, and I want to use it on my forums to set the sessionid to null when the http-user-agent is the Googlebot, so Google won't have any trouble crawling my forum pages.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (eregi("googlebot",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" )) || eregi("internetseer",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" )) || eregi("WebCrawler",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" ))) { 

$session = NULL;

}

Now, before I go off adding this to my forum, my question is, will this code actually do the job, and where should I insert this code to get the job done?

Why go to all this trouble? It would take you a large line to enter all HTTP_USER_AGENT's for all search engines. :)
An easier solution is this:

That's an awesome hack, but I don't want the search engine visitors to get lost in an archive when they come to my site - I want them to be using the real thing.
