Unusual Traffic from Limelight Networks

Not just websites being scanned

I wanted to respond to the existing message thread on this subject, but couldn't find a reply to thread selection, so trying this new thread method.

I am not running a website. Last week I ran Traffic Monitor on McAfee and saw that 208.11.159.103 was monitoring my port 80. I did a site track and saw it was Limelight Networks with an IP range of 208.111.128.0 to 208.111.191.255. I banned this IP range, since I didn't have any software from this company.

Today, I checked traffic upon logging in. There were IPs 68.142.122.84 and 68.142.123.100 monitoring my port 80. I traced them and they identified as Limelight Networks with a new IP range of 68.142.64.0 to 68.142.127.255, which I added to the banned list.

Just who are these folks? I can see a bot/spider checking websites, but why are they latching onto user addresses?

Can this be the fabled federal goverments implementation of checking everyone for pornography or subversive activity?

Even though I had banned the URL range for Limelights, I found them again latched onto my Port 80 this evening.

I believe this may be the governments RAPTOR program.

Once again had their server latching onto my port 80, even though I had my firewall banning both ranges of their URL's (should I go with individual URL banning rather than a range?).

I just sent them an abuse email, since their phone number doesn't accept person-to-person conversations.

Since no one is responding here, can I assume that there is no hope?
