Message of unauthorized domains displaying Adsense with my pub id this last week include the following two patterns (I've changed all numbers here to O's, to protect the innocent):

00.0.000.00

000.0.0.0

Reverse domain lookup tells me the first is Inktomi (Yahoo search). This one is probably okay to authorize, right? Probably just caching my pages, right?

The second one is a mystery. Lookup reveals no info other than "local host" -- otherwise unknown. This leaves me a bit concerned. Any way to find out what this domain is? I really hope it's not a scraper site, or worse.

Uhm, "localhost" is you. 127.0.0.anything.

In my case these ip addresses turned out to be online translators, web caches and the like.
