Fake Google Spider
An interesting search spider has been crawling through one of my forums.
Its known as... Google Spider IP... 74.208.162.212 But when resolved... u15331979.onlinehome-server.com That's not Google! To block or not to block that is the question?

Re: Fake Google Spider
I think that's why it's dangerous to rely on the user-agent alone. Fake bots should be blocked by IP as there is potential for mischief (otherwise why would they fake their ID?)

Re: Fake Google Spider
You should deny the IP address at the server level and send them to a 403 error page, or find a spammer site and send them there.
