Argh Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 The past few weeks I've been noticing a particular IP Address, 216.88.158.142, present almost all the time and often several times at once through the who's online feature. Being curious I traced back to Utah I belive it was. I thought at first it might be a bot from some search engine but it's been viewing the site for nearly a month now. I've also noticed other IP Addresses with the same behavior, however not with as much frequency or volume. Any ideas as to what this may be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Argh Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 But for this long? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 some are persistant... Yes... Before Google optimised, they were resident on one of my domains for several weeks at a time and their constant spidering used approx. 1gb of bandwidth... Just modify your robots.txt to deny access to the ip addresses you see being persistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

241 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 There is an article about this, I came across earlier today but can't remember where. It also related to spider and being locked in due to something, I think it was the < inurls and sid killer. if I can remember I will post back or search some of the threads from today.
