I have a family photo gallery with tons of photos.  Just noticed (live) 
strange robotic behaviors.  I'm getting requests for images that looks 
normal but then I notice different IP addresses in the same network and 
different OS/browsers for each IP.  My PostNuke is only reporting 1 guest 
online proving that it's just one person.  The traffic is requesting one 
image after the other and in order... just four different IP's and four 
different OS/Browsers:

65.102.23.169 - - "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.1.2; X11)"
65.102.12.225 - - "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows 95)"
65.102.23.161 - - "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Mac_PowerPC)"
65.102.23.153 - - "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"

I can stop the web server for about 5 minutes and restart... this guy 
continues where it left off within a few seconds!

Anyone know about this kind of behavior?

Cheers!
