MSN Spider ip List?

[Brett_Tabke]

Anyone have an uptodate list of MSN bot spider ips?

[dstiles]

I ran rDNS checks in bulk a couple of weeks ago and came up with the following. There are a few blank rDNS entries of one or two IPs within some (most?) ranges which I included to reduce the number of ranges I had to use in the software.

NOTE: These are only for an rDNS that includes msnbot.

65.54.164.36 - 65.54.135.0
65.54.165.7
65.54.165.32 - 65.54.165.74
65.54.165.97 - 65.54.165.111
65.55.2.134 - 65.55.2.248
65.55.3.134 - 65.55.3.253
65.55.4.7 - 65.55.4.35
65.55.4.50 - 65.55.4.236
65.55.37.133 - 65.55.37.247
65.55.51.6 - 65.55.51.120
65.55.51.138 - 65.55.51.252
65.55.104.10 - 65.55.110.225
65.55.115.135 - 65.55.115.230
65.55.165.11 - 65.55.165.130
65.55.207.11 - 65.55.207.154
65.55.217.16
65.55.217.69
65.55.217.145
65.55.217.161
65.55.217.167
65.55.219.34
65.55.219.135 - 65.55.220.230
65.55.230.11 - 65.55.232.255
65.55.235.138 - 65.55.235.143
65.55.235.158 - 65.55.235.165
65.55.235.170
65.55.235.192 - 65.55.235.202
65.55.235.205
65.55.246.30 - 65.55.246.129
207.46.98.0 - 207.46.98.2
207.46.98.5 - 207.46.98.255
207.46.126.10 - 207.46.126.247
207.46.127.10 - 207.46.127.247

Full MSN ranges that may or may not include other semi-bot, translate, proxies etc (excluding tide) as I have them:

64.4.0.0 - 64.4.63.255
65.52.0.0 - 65.55.255.255
94.245.64.0 - 94.245.127.255
205.248.0.0 - 205.248.255.255
207.46.0.0 - 207.46.255.255
207.68.128.0 - 207.68.207.255
209.240.192.0 - 209.240.223.255

Gotta love Webmasterworld!

Thanks for sharing dstiles.

[Brett_Tabke]

awesome - thanks dude!

[dstiles]

You're welcome! :)

I'm gradually building up a new db of good (or at least acceptable) bot IPs 'cause I can't rDNS them on the fly. So far google seems most reasonable in allocation: six C's in two clumps. Yandex is definitely the worst - about 150 IPs scattered two or three to each C range; and they still send round oddly titled rDNS with their standard bot.

Update on the 207 ranges. Not sure if this was me being sloppy or if some of them are new.

Note: some IP sets are msnbot-(ip).search.msn.com and others are msnbot-(ip).msn.com. No idea why but it seems as though the ones I missed before are of the latter persuasion (which may be why I missed them).
