Got a visitor to my travel site from:

home-59-38.extranet.inktomi.com

with this referral:

[idev11.fostercity.corp.yahoo.com...]

Can anyone clue me in on this visitation? I really doubt Yahoo was looking for discounts on their corporate travel.

My guess is that it has to do with relevancy test of the Inktomi algo, with Yahoo having a say in it.

Referrers with 'idev11' variations from inktomi itself where noticed earlier, this thread [webmasterworld.com] mentions the referrer [idev11.inktomi.com...]

Other interesting similar referrers (found searching for 'idev11') include:

[idev11.fostercity.corp.yahoo.com...]

[idev11.inktomi.com...]

[idev11.fostercity.corp.yahoo.com...]
