uscu-sgs-8.symantec.com?

What is this?

[binkster]

I have been getting over 2000 pages loaded by them daily. Does anyone know what this is?

The IP is 198.6.50.30. I am worried that is someone going in and harvesting (stealing) data from my site. It shows up in the logs as:

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0; Q312461)"

Please let me know if anyone has info about this. I have him blocked w/ iptables right now but worry maybe it was a 'good' robot also even thought it does not identify itself as one in my stats program.

thanks,
Kevin

Hi binkster - I'm afraid I don't really have an answer, just a (possible) clue :) Symantec produce something called 'Symantec Gateway Security' or SGS - the acronym that appears as part of the address - maybe checking out their site will help?
