[thelist] Weird slurp behavior

Anyone else seen this in their logs?

query_string : 404;http://www.example.com/SlurpConfirm404/perhaps.htm
ip : 66.196.91.119

The site in question /has/search/engine/friendly/urls/
and properly sends a 404 down the pipe when a true 404 exists....

it was followed by:
query_string : 404;http://www.example.com/SlurpConfirm404/successfr.htm
ip : 66.196.91.119

It's part of Inktomi's IP range (and says Slurp in the address...)

I think they're trying to detect search engine friendly urls, or sites that
throw no 404s whatsoever.
Any idears?
Anyone else seeing it?
