Apparently this has been reported in several other places on Google http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=6dd38e35376e723e&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Apps/thread?tid=0a4d894e858660f6&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=1ef5e9959bb406c1&hl=en
And no one seems to know what it is, but found a reference for one of the IP addresses having to do something with the Google App Engine Has anyone noticed the new DOTS browser / spider / user agent browsing/scanning their site from Google IP Addresses? Here is an example of a log entry from one Log File: X:\W3SVC1\ex110804.log Log Entries For:74.125.64.84 Browser: dots Referrer: Started: 8/4/2011 5:20:26 PM 2011-08-04 21:20:26 GET /--------------------- 74.125.64.84 dots - - www.------- 403 6 0 5521 109 62 1 Log Entries They seem to be coming from blocks 74.125.0.0 - 74.125.255.255 and a few other Google blocks. The problem is that had to no enable the Plus (+1 button) on a site because apparently the Spider (it uses a different user agent) comes from the same blocks as this mysterious DOTS browser / spider / useragent. Haven't seem to find an concrete information as to what the purpose of DOTS is and whether it should be trusted or not.
