I have a crawl7.googlebot.com and a crawler7.googlebot.com on my site at the moment.

What is the difference between the "crawl" and the "crawler" googlebot?

it's been rumored (i can't confirm) that one is the freshbot and one is the deepcrawl bot. According to my logs, crawler is the freshbot (64.blah) and crawl is the deepbot (216.blah)
