I am paranoid but . . .

Just noticed this going back a year or two. Looks like a bot? And looks like someone is taking some trouble to present random UA's?

Can't trace it beyond Verio.

My fav whois tool gives this message:

Reassignment information for this block is
available at rwhois.verio.net port 4321

I can't work out any syntax though.

And remember, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you after all.

Appraise your paranoia. That IP address belongs to Wordtracker, a commercial bot extracting your valued keywords for their customers (your competition). Besides E-mail Harvesters, this on should certainly be disallowed to access your site.

That one changed OS rather quickly, huh? ;-)
