Google Web Preview

[wilderness]

There's a 2010 thread [webmasterworld.com] on this.
Unable to locate anything newer.

173.194.99.18 - - [17/Oct/2012:21:29:56 +0100] "GET /MyFolder/MySub/MyPage.html HTTP/1.1" 403 559 "http://www.google.com/search" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko; Google Web Preview) Chrome/22.0.1229 Safari/537.4"

Within two seconds there were five requests for different pages (followed by a standard users IP duplicating initial page request).
Three from the 74.125. range and two from this 173.94 range.

Anybody seeing this new range?

I've got 173.194 tentatively flagged as google.co.uk. Never seen it doing Preview.

What was the new Google IP range that someone mentioned in another thread last week?

I've been seeing the 173.194 range since May. Full /16 range killed. In anya case I do not alalaow web preview.

Last range I reported here, in September, was 108.177.0.0 - 108.177.127.255
