Strange Yahoo Bot

Found this in my logs today:

66.94.232.#*$! - - [12/Apr/2006:14:08:58 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 163 "-" "Scooter/3.3"

IP resolved to:
scrub3.media.search.scd.yahoo.com
Yahoo, Sunnyvale, CA

Anyone know what this is?

Way back in the day, Scooter was Alta Vista's bot. Alta Vista is owned by Yahoo! these days, but I don't know what they are doing with the bot.

Thanks for the info, volatilegx. I was curious because Yahoo's bots are usually plainly identified (don't have to do an IP lookup).

Have a good one,
