Just been checking a couple of my sites log files and found these 2 404's.

Site A

64.68.88.138 - - [07/Sep/2003:11:50:07 +0100] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 530 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"
64.68.88.138 - - [07/Sep/2003:11:50:07 +0100] "GET /mysite.co.uk HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

Site B

64.68.88.6 - - [07/Sep/2003:06:31:37 +0100] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 353 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"
64.68.88.6 - - [07/Sep/2003:06:31:38 +0100] "GET /mysite.co.uk HTTP/1.0" 404 645 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

This is the first time I have seen googlebot try to get "/mysite.co.uk".

Has anyone else experienced this?
Neither of the sites uses any redirects.

Thanks

Sounds like someone has messed up a link to your site (or maybe GoogleBot is having issues)... personally I'd just 301 the problem URL back to somewhere useful, just like you would with any other page/resource which caused a 404.
