Slurp fake?

Found this in the logs...

IP: 211.169.241.21
UA: Slurp/si ([e-mail];http://www.inktomi.com/slurp.html)

No referer

This IP wasn't on my list of Inktomi's, nor on Brett's. Doing a DNS lookup yielded nothing, but found that the IP block is assigned to Asia-Pacific users.

So a check on apnic.net suggested [whois.nic.or.kr ].

Seems to be connected with [kidc.net ].

Is this unrelated to Inktomi as I suspect, ie. somebody snooping around or should I stick it in my list?

Rpking - there is a new inktomi spider from Korea, we talked about it a couple of months ago. I'll post some more info in a while, gotta run...

Ok, here is the link I mentioned.
[webmasterworld.com ]
If it is modeled after Slurp-Japan it may actually be a decent source of traffic.

Cheers littleman, missed that thread. You guys are good. If I worked for an SE I'd be very paranoid by now!
