Hi sculptex and welcome to WebmasterWorld :)

I don't recall if I've seen these IP addresses. Can you tell me what the User Agent associated with them is?

[sculptex]

no agent listed, sorry :(

ps. thanks for the welcome

[sculptex]

Http Code: 302 Date: Nov 17 07:31:10 Http Version: HTTP/1.0 Size in Bytes: 27255

always accessing site root (/) and sometimes several hits from each IP.

A more complete list would be;

64.42.30.81-87
64.71.176.3-9
66.194.6.75-84
168.150.251.241-247
209.126.158.211=213
209.126.190.35-37
209.126.252.3-9
209.128.75.98-104
209.128.89.115-120
209.128.93.194-200
209.133.51.81-87
209.133.51.113-118
209.237.42.67-73

Bizarrely, none have shown any user agent except one instance only of

66.194.6.83

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1-rc2; i686 Linux; 20020202)

All since beginning of this month during night hours (here in UK).

All do not come from the same place (3 different origins)
The last one comes from websense (fake user agent - 66.194.6... spider of a content filtering company, will come every day with 3 different user agents)

[bull]

66.194.6.0 - 66.194.6.255 = WebSense
There are some threads about this one.

I have occasionally seen requests from 209.126.254.* w/o User-agent specified.

-----------

209.133.0.0 - 209.133.127.255 = AboveNet
Home of Bots like :
MSRBOT (209.133.64.*)
CosmixCrawler/0.1 (209.133.117.21 , .30 )
falcon/1.0 (209.133.117.22)

I have blocked that whole range
