[Zope] Looping URL's

We've been having a continual problem using Zope to serve as a 
campus-wide CMS. Non technical people are plaguing the server with 
malformed references, creating looping URLs that cause our search 
engine to fall over dead. I presume you all know what I'm talking 
about... the a/b/a/b/a/b URL's.

We've focused on user-training, but we really need to find a way to 
make the server more bulletproof. I'm considering throwing a call into 
the template that compares the request URL with the absolute_url and 
redirects/logs when a discrepancy is found.

Does anyone have any comment on this approach, or a better 
recommendation?
