Is this Inktomi or is it fresh Msnbot results?

I did a search on msn and was very surprised to find the new version of a web site- it was just uploaded 10 days ago. Occasionally, not always, when I hovered over the url I would find either of the following two strings preceding the actual url:

[g.msn.com...]
[g.msn.com...]

Ok, someone else spotted "http://g.msn.com/9se/1?"
[webmasterworld.com ]

Although my page was fresh from around a week ago- is Ink spidering on a daily basis too?

Ink spiders some stuff on a daily basis -> unless this redirect was coupled with a hit from MSNbot, I would expect that they are just doing some more tracking of what goes on in their SERP to harvest more data to pump into their search engine when it launches.
