Linkspammer uses zombies

One of the recent linkspammers seems to be using zombies. I can’t find any other explanation for it. The machines are often on Comcast or other large US ISP’s.

I’ve seen the same type of IP numbers on wikis as well as comments.

Here are some of these numbers, most recent first:

70.245.74.149
ppp-70-245-74-149.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net

24.19.139.71

24.6.208.195
c-24-6-208-195.hsd1.ca.comcast.net

70.249.154.22
ppp-70-249-154-22.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net

67.163.194.6
Comcast, but no reverse DNS

    Does the referrer look like (DO NOT enter with JS enabled browser!): netbest.usa-nets.com/post_ag.php?start=50 or http://localhost/sp21.php?start=610 ?
