It appears that some of the queries are valid for an older site that
existed in the past. That site was a wiki and some of the Giga hits are
for internationalized versions of the default help/support pages. This
is fine and acceptable behavior by them (IMHO). The fact that they are
querying something that no longer exist is something I can deal with.
The strangeness is that some of their crawling is looking for URLs with
multiple exclamation points, those URLs never existed. This may be
indicative of a character translation on my system or theirs. BUT, the
net net is that I no longer feel a need to be concerned about them.
Thanks all,

What is www.gigablast.com? And why is it constantly performing
"questionable" queries (mostly http) across every IP that I have access
to check.
I get a could of thousand hits (mostly questionable non-existing URL
requests) from that ip (66.154.103.75). Anyone else seeing/questioning
this?
Completewhois shows some listings in some RBLs, but not the more popular
ones.
