    I know that gsa-crawler is Google Search Appliance, but what I found interesting was the IP it came from:

    8.6.48.249

    So I checked http://8.6.48.249/

    Interesting.
    Search: public content public and secure content

    Any ideas of what this index is/might be? I get a limited number of results returned for the searches I performed.

    Interesting find, must be a test box. Fun to play around with, but very small index.
