Off topic but I find it interesting where Exodus Communications Inc. places their resources.

[exodus.net...]

And where they do not.

It is in my logs too. I hate those exodus IPs, odds are it is real - but it be easy enough to fake a spider coming out of there. Tell me, was this for a new submission or a page that was already in the database? I'm very interested in hearing others view on that crawler.

>> was this for a new submission or a page that was already in the database?

this was a pre-existing page.. no submission was made (to my knowlege).

Thanks Carman! Say, would you mind posting the address for that rwhois server at Exodus?

[Air]

Yeah sure I can, to give credit though, it was DaveP who first reported this tool in THIS [webmasterworld.com] post.

To lookup an IP go to the RWHOIS [rwhois.net] tool. In the "host" field enter rwhois.exodus.net and in the "query" field the IP Address.

[littleman]

That's right, I remember now. Sometimes it takes a while to sink in.

[cirelle]

Thanx all.

Appreciate the info
