Start here [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] and trace back and Google to find out who/what they are/do.

Well from what I can see it's a company called AboveNet, Inc.
MS-Analysis lists it as
http://209.249.86.4.available.above.net/
but this server cannot be found

What is trace back?

Would I get better info if I installed MS-Analysis v2.3 Pro - IP-to-Country?
I have been reluctant to install because the readme suggests it could slow the site.

MSA really doe a performance hit so you need a good fst server.

Trace back just meant to trace back on any information you found at dnsstuff.

You might check [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] or some sites like that to see if they know anything about the company.

I have hits from: Abovenet Communications with IP 64.124.85.73
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BecomeBot/3.0; MSIE 6.0 compatible; +http://www.become.com/site_owners.html)

Maybe is the same bot with diff IP.
