Gotta break out my copy of Theory of Poker and look for this one on the list of "Reasons to Raise".
Seriously, this isn't a good way to think about playing limit. Re-bluffing a bluffer with a bluff catching hand isn't a win. We can just sit there all day, let him bluff off his chips, and he'll tell people around him what the idiot calling station just missed making a clear fold. He won't stop. Once he bluffs too far much, calling down is more profitable.
If your hand couldn't beat his bluffs
and if he folds to additional aggression, then think about re-bluffing. If your hand is strong enough to beat some of his value range or he's a maniac, you could think about re-raising for value. Again, the idea of re-establishing dominance and stopping him from raising you isn't good -- if he bluffs too much (a mistake that makes you $), you don't stop his bluffing on purpose and intentionally make him play better. It is like trying to get a calling station to fold more, you prevent him from making the mistake he most wants to make.
