So it appears this Producer bot is making snapshots, among other things.

Do the snapshots resemble Google Web Preview's?

Seeing as how G's using the same bare/no rDNS IPs for both bots (& others), it'd make sense they recycle their, or rather our, thumbnails.

Interestingly, and perhaps ominously, when I add up all G-spawned bot traffic I see in any 24-hour period, the vast majority of hits are no longer from googlebot.com, using Googlebot, reading/heeding robots.txt.
