   So I searched my web-logs going back to Jan 2006 and I found about 1400   
   hits from the Ezooms robot.   
      
   The first was on Jan 31 / 2011 and the last one was a few days ago (June   
   3).  This is a span of about 490 days, so you might think these come at   
   about 3 per day.  Well, not quite.   
      
   I brought the dates of these hits into excel and then entered a simple   
   formula to get the time between hits, and then sorted those times.   
      
   Turns out that 10% of these hits happen within 1 minute of the last hit.   
      
   An additional 83% happen within 1 day of the last hit (and many of those   
   within an hour of the last hit).   
      
   The last 7% happen between 1 and 18 days from the last hit (but very few   
   beyond 7 days).   
      
   All these 1400 hits came from just 4 ip addresses:   
      
   208.115.111.73   
   208.115.111.74   
      
   208.115.113.89   
   208.115.113.94   
      
   So I added 208.115.111.0/24 and 208.115.113.0/24 to my server's banned   
   list.   
      
   I don't need my server to be talking to that stupid-ass robot.
