Does anyone know Net-sweeper's IP's?

and other "filtering" software's bots

[berli]

I see no reason to waste bandwidth on some filtering software that I don't even agree with anyway. Does anyone have an IP list for Net-sweeper and other filtering bots?

I have "host227.net-sweeper.com" but can't find an IP for that using DNS lookup.

A related question I have is, does it make sense to send such bots 403's? Or should I just all redirect them to a bogus page that links to google (or whatever) so they don't punitively block my site for their users?
