Strange request from 67.72.101.6

GET Techiemedia.net

[laurent3227]

Found this in yesterday's log.

67.72.101.6 - - [06/Oct/2003:04:16:07 -0400] "GET [localg4.techiemedia.net...] HTTP/1.0" 404 202 "-" "-"

67.72.101.6 is from Level 3 (yeah, right..)
Our server is a very basic e-store; the page at techiemedia is a long reference listing.

Any idea what they were trying to achieve?

Probably just a sporadic DNS error - nothing to worry about; happens all the time.

There is no reason why that IP address isn't "owned" by Level 3; they're a big ISP and provide Internet services to thousands of companies.
