If he's just linking to a static link on your client's page, then it'll be
tough. However, if you could enforce something on his side (for instance a
call-ahead or dynamic link of sorts) that may make it tougher for him to
fiddle with things, albeit far from bulletproof. A direct solution may be to
simple examine the IP that is referred from him - is it ping'able,
traceroute'able - does it seem like an average user (you'd end up with IPs
from many different subnets, reverse DNS resolutions, etc.) or is there an
odd pattern?

See what errors his site throws? Yes, 1-800-CRACKER :) unless of course
you can enforce some behavior on his end.
