PSI bot
I found a bot, because it had gone for my trackback file, with a GET request. Same thing the search engine spiders do.
IP number:
38.118.25.61
That’s within the Performance Systems International Inc. IP block, but dns servers are from cogentco
User agents:

Webmasterworld has wondered about this one before.
No idea what this one’s actually doing.
It’s a minor point, but PSINet (who used to own the 38/8 netblock) ended up going bankrupt a few years ago, and CogentCo bought the assets of the company, including their US network infrastructure and IP Addresses.
So, the fact that the IP’s are still registered to PSINet is just cogentco being tardy in updating their information over at ARIN. PSINet Inc doesn’t exist any more.
