New bot? Dmoz-checker?

[claus]

Got visited yesterday:

IP: 67.35.120.89
UA: Tagword (ht*tp:*/*/*tagword*.*com/*dmoz_survey.php)
Referrer: ht*tp:*/*/*tagword*.*com/*dmoz_survey.php
Protocol: HTTP/1.1
Method: HEAD

Only requested index, nothing else. Some kind of advertising network, but why would they want to check the dmoz results...

edit: a lot of asterisks inserted in the UA and referrer strings - these are not there in the logfiles.

The DMOZ bot is Robozilla or some such creature. Which hasn't spidered in some time.

This TAG is a log spammer.
I've denied both the IP and UA.

logspam... hmm... alternative advertising of some sort... i wonder if it's worth it... guess not... obviously they will only get spotted by people checking logfiles - i don't think it will count as backlinks unless they make it to the top 30 or so, or... well, better change that first post if i still can ;)
