Thank you.

[littleman]

Yes, thank you. It hasn't hit me yet.

[Brett_Tabke]

Those exodus ones - give me the creeps.

[PeteU]

I was hit by these, but just four requests
among couple thousands of slurp-ings last two days
does not look legit to me at all
much more like a human behaviour
and I was not able to trace it to anything
other then Exodus either, troute was weird too, bumped thru
european IPs then back to US, looked like..

[littleman]

Pete, those IPs will go back to inktomi through this utility [rwhois.net]. You need to put in exodus's rwhois. I believe it is rwhois.exodus.net. It seems the ips being assigned over at exodus are being used before they are registration info filters through the net.

But, they still could be humans though. Could they be from someone at ink snooping for spam?

[PeteU]

thanks, littleman, I tried that but could not get anything..
spam looker? doubt it, he/she would look at more stuff, maybe just a surfer from inktomi but why set user agent? oh well, I've seen stranger things with Slurp's name on it
:)

I haven't seen that IP hit my sites.

I also have a shield that uses basic rules to ident
a spider look a like and haven't seen those there either.

I have also seen a rash of no UA scavangers that come
from a myriad of isp's nad proxies.

for what it is worth
