I could do that for current requests, but on the Who's Online page, it shows old requests that were stored in the database, and User-Agents aren't stored, just IPs. :p

couldnt you add another range, called bot, and it stored if it was a bot, and what bot it was?

Im only asking because i used a program to change my user agent to googlebot's user agent :p

That's another thing I forgot to mention; user-agents are easier to spoof. :p

It's like crawlxx.google.com or proxy.google.com... of course, doing a hostname lookup on every IP can be very slow.

I've made a similar thing, but I don't know if it works good yet. I need some testers.

WDZ, did you type all of the ip's, or do you use some kind of database? Because all ip's make a very long code.
