googlebot alexa toolbar?

[arubicus]

Can anyone tell me what this is and why it says alexa toolbar with it?

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html); .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Alexa Toolbar)

did you check to see if the ip is actually a G ip? Could be someone messing with their user agent.

Someone probably set this to check the cloacking via UA.

Funny thing is that it/they/or whatever just requested 1 single page. This page is of no significance just a form page.

If you need more info let me know.

Nothing today so far just regular googlebots.

well, I didn't mean to post the ip, just to use an ip/whois tool to see who owned the ip.

it isn't a G ip so someone is changing their user agent

<added>fast edit ;)

So far it seems harmless. I will just keep an eye out.
