Also note that the user agent is different (shorter). Someone else mentioned the IPs in a thread during the last week and I mentioned it there, but I can't locate the thread.

Might this have anything to do w/ Google being very slow to spider new pages? I have pages added Saturday that still haven't started receiving targeted ads. Normally ads on new pages show in 1-2 hours, and I can't recall any circumstances under which 2-3 days past without seeing targeting kick in.
