External URLS

What would I need to add to my robots.txt file to exclude external urls?

I have MANY outbound links on my site and I can't add teh nofollow tag to them all. It would take forever. So I figured there might be a way to do it with robots.txt

robots.txt is for internal URL's only.

Do you have a dynamic site, or have you given static links from within your website pages to these websites? Are you taking about the links on your link pages or from the web pages?
