Broward County (FL) Public Schools!

a strange one ..

In today's access_log, I found a curious string of 17 hits: all HEAD calls,
all identical, all calling my index.html page only and all from am AOL DNS.

Eight seconds later, comes something much stranger:

Some unidentified robot sucked up my entire site, maybe 140 html pages,
no gif images, in the space of 20 seconds or so.

I did a whois on the DNS. It came back clearly.
"Broward County Public Schools" in Florida.

I've heard a lot of howling about "Florida" on these pages, but this is new.

Looks like some bright kid in a computer course is way ahead of the curriculum.
Is anybody else getting hit up like this? -Larry

larry,
I recall getting some traffic from Broward County Public Schools as I recall looking at the IP range at ARIN.
I failed to make a notation and as a result, I can only conclude that traffic did not seem intrusive.

I do also have to consider that I get some substantial traffic from Florida. As a result, I may have been more tolerant towards the visit than I usually am.

Sorry I'm unable to provide more.

Hi Don: I can't really complain about the bandwidth,
my site is only 130 pages or so. It just made me curious.

No user agent given, but my entire (smallish) site was crawled,
quite methodically I should add.

I presume Broward County schools is elementary to high school.
If so, some kid is learning the ropes way faster that I did. -Larry
