google using Mozilla user agent?!?!

[SubZeroGTS]

i had freshbot attacking my site, with few visits from deepbot. today deepcrawlbot went crazy, and then stopped, and i got 3 hits from these:

/216.239.37.5...Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; DT; H010818)

/216.239.37.5...Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; DT; H010818)

/216.239.37.5...Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; DT; H010818)

if you do a 'tracert' on them from DOS, it goes to google's network.... o_O

Possibly a Google employee looking at your site for some reason?

If forget the exact IP range, but it's in that 216.239 range somewhere...

Google will also show as the IP in various other type requests through various services:

1) Cached views
2) PDA Views
3) Language (as mentioned above)
4) Image views (through images.google)
5) And a few others I'm forgetting right now.
