The IP I'm having trouble connecting from is
216.99.203.72. Just to verify,
I resolve
www.wikipedia.org as 130.94.122.199, to which I can ping and
traceroute but not open port 80. Thanks. -- Amillar 15:15 21 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I thought this sounded easy enough to fix, since I had seen a list of such
bots in the /apache/conf directory on larousse. But after some grepping, I
couldn't find any IP address in his block listed, or his domain name
(aracnet). I'm out of ideas, does anyone else know what's going on?
Ah yes, this one was so bad that I blocked the IP at the firewall level.
I've unblocked it for now, but please no funny stuff. Swamping the
server is very, VERY not cool.
