New IPs for Fast spider?

[PeteU]

Got hit today by a bunch of reqests from Fast, it is from a range of IPs I have never seen before.
Is this the real thing? Can anyone confirm?

209.202.148.53
FAST-WebCrawler/2.2-pre1 ([e-mail]; [fast.no...]

I saw at least ten different IPs all in the range of 209.202.148.50-99

Geese, talk about invisible. The only thing I could dig up on these IPs are that they are part of an exodus group. I haven't seen anything from this class C. Anyone else?

Peter, are they hitting just one domain or several?

[PeteU]

I know, they don't make it easy..
I'm hit on several domains with different IPs in the range,
very convincing.

I'm getting these too:

209.202.148.53
209.202.148.68
etc...

Heh, I wonder how many servers are going to crash and burn tonight. Fast has joined Google in massive spidering activities.
Oy, these new spiders just have no manners
:D
