Does anyone know what Google uses the 72.14.192.0 - 72.14.255.255 IP range for?

It's been hitting my bot trap and getting automatically blocked. I don't think it's actually Google, but by blocking the ip addresses I am blocking whatever Google legitimately uses it for.

Nevermind, found out what they are...

They're the proxy for Google's Web Accelerator. Which brings up the different issue about Prefetchers and Bot Traps.

Thanks for posting the discovery, Jordo. I'm sure it will be useful for others.
