crawlX.googlebot.com vs. crawlerX.googlebot.com

what's the difference (if there is one)?

Hi all,
Well - is there a difference between the two user agents?
There's also a difference it their IP address range.

10X in advance,

As far as I can tell (plz correct me if I'm wrong), this is the deal:

64.68.82.* -> crawler##.googlebot.com a.k.a. Fast Crawl a.k.a. Freshbot
64.68.84.* -> crawl##.googlebot.com a.k.a. Deep Crawl a.k.a. Googlebot
216.239.46.* -> crawl##.googlebot.com a.k.a. Deep Crawl a.k.a. Googlebot

...so what are these then, freshbots?

crawl25.googlebot.com (64.68.80.157)
crawl25.googlebot.com (64.68.80.144)
crawl25.googlebot.com (64.68.80.150)
crawl25.googlebot.com (64.68.80.158)
crawl25.googlebot.com (64.68.80.149)

crawl23.googlebot.com (64.68.80.57)
crawl23.googlebot.com (64.68.80.56)
crawl23.googlebot.com (64.68.80.54)
crawl23.googlebot.com (64.68.80.53)

crawl24.googlebot.com (64.68.80.61)
crawl24.googlebot.com (64.68.80.69)
crawl24.googlebot.com (64.68.80.71)
crawl24.googlebot.com (64.68.80.75)
crawl24.googlebot.com (64.68.80.72)

crawl27.googlebot.com (64.68.80.201)
crawl27.googlebot.com (64.68.80.203)

crawl26.googlebot.com (64.68.80.159)

I believe that actually any of the 64.68.x.x are Freshbots
the 216.239.x.x is the Deep Crawlers although recently there have been reports of bots being used interchangebly I havent seen it - hope that helps

Just so I am clear on this, you are saying that...

crawler11.googlebot.com would be a freshbot
and
crawl23.googlebot.com would be a deepbot?

I was always looking at the ip's before but this does look like it makes much more sense as I look at my logs.

Thanks...
