Question What is 74.124.192.3
I have blocked 74.124.192.3 because it racks up more accesses in my server log than almost any other. Am I wrong to regard with suspicion that string of random characters at the end of the log entry? The garbage string changes with each access.

74.124.192.3 - - [09/Aug/2007:22:20:56 -0500] "GET http://<webpage>.htm HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "foqrpsejcbfdgrkusreqjtcgkeo"

The visits have been going on for weeks from the same IP. Anyone able to tell me what's up with it?

The server my websites are on have had the same issue for weeks now... all I can say is it's not in my site logs. I just wish my hosting provider would kick them already...

the solution to these types of pests are to utilze a regex rewrite for random character UA's.

Proving regex examples in these type forums only offer such harvesters solutions to make their random charcters more effective.
