    looks and acts exactly like google - only i don't recognize the ip address and i know it's not in google's typical 64.xxx.xxx.xxx datacenter block. anyone know what this is? seen it?

    I got the same thing in my logs a few days back, I think.

    It's domain was googlee.com and the page was googles search page but with english listed next to google. I searched for reference to it and found an old site listing it as a spam site that was typo squatting but it looks like google has got a hold of it now and is using it? :confused:

    i didn't really look further into it after i figured out the IP addy was the same as google cache. I had wondered if it was some sort of spam site too - that's why i originally posted it here... could be something along the lines of what you're describing though because it does seem to function similarly to google.
