Yahoo Slurp making strange reguests

for directories and pages not on site.

Has anyone else experienced this from slurp.
Requesting odd actual page names, and correct site pages but from peculiar directories.

Thanks

This is nothing new, but thankfully not a regular occurance.

After a quick check of my log files, I see this happened in late October, mid-December, late January, early February, mid-March... and now.

For a bit there, I thought I saw a semi-regular pattern of Slurp goofing up every 1.5 months, but I'm not sure if that theory holds much water.

What I did notice though, was that Slurp often asked for the same files. It took no work at all to find most of the original pages, which included porn, a religious cassette tape, a small town in Germany and someone's coat of arms.

At the end of the day, Slurp's abberant behaviour isn't anything to worry about, it's just a few 404's in your logs.

thanks Balam for the information.

My post was initially held pending .... probably because a similiar thread was started over at tracking and logging.
Probably where I should have posted mine.

However, appreciate your response to this one.
