Sneaky Inktomi

[Josk]

Hi,

Has anyone else been seeing 209.131.48.148 sneaking around as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"? It seems to be a proxys server in Inktomi, so watch out!

Just remember that they are common people like the rest of us and surf the web at their office when they get bored.

Did you notice this one grabbing various pages within a few seconds apart on multiple domains?

"they are common people like the rest of us"
I don't believe it, there is nothing common about them [personal.inktomi.com].

nice find, lm... so this is where our inclusion $$$ go... Kinda cute though. The flowers in the window did it.

Got it from Brett [webmasterworld.com].

Well at least I got the "they get bored" part right and from those photos they are very productive during those times. :)

Well it didn't ask for robots.txt, but is managed to spider some items very quicly all in a row. Has anyone seen this type of behavior from it?
