Thanks, dstiles. I, too, must juggle expediency with capability (the server's; my own:) Thus when it comes to the 157s et al, things get a bit-ham-fisted: msnbot and bingbot are only okay from:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !\.(bing|live|msn)\.com$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^65\.(54|55)\.
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^157\.55\.
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^207\.46\.

(The jury's still out on 157.56.)
