panscient

with own IP range

[Staffa]

panscient used to come from 38.99.nn.nn (a range I had blocked a long time ago) today it's coming from its own range
NetRange: 205.251.121.0 - 205.251.121.255
CIDR: 205.251.121.0/24

and has this simple UA : panscient.com

took robots.txt (where I don't have it listed) and moved on to the index page where it was stopped by my system.

I shall now block its IP range ;)

1st site in Class C:

2nd site; unrelated:

07/18 01:18:31 /robots.txt

3rd site; unrelated:

So much for robots.txt reliability, consistency.
