I suspect that's the case. There's a similar report at 
http://www.webmasterworld.com/search_engine_spiders/4412088.htm

I quick check doesn't show soldierx.com/hdb/Mafia-Boy linked from any 
wiki, though.

$ time ( for i in $(grep labsdb /etc/hosts | cut -c 13- ); do  mysql -h 
"$i" "${i%.labsdb}_p" -e "SELECT CONCAT('$i ', el_to) FROM externallinks 
WHERE el_index LIKE 'http://com.soldierx%'" ; done )
