New bot from Yahoo!: Slurpy Verifier/1.0
Obviously Yahoo! has released a new (development) bot called Slurpy Verifier/1.0. The bot used the IP 66.228.164.201 which gives a reverse DNS of rdev25.yst.corp.yahoo.com so the bot can be called “genuine”.

Yahoo! is seems to mix the “normal Slurp” and the Slurpy Verifier. I have IPs which resolve to inktomisearch.com with the Slupry Verifier UA and development IPs which come with the “normal Slurp” UA.
Who knows what they are doing there. As Yahoo! is terribly slow with respect to putting new content in the index it is a little hard to verify what the Slurpy Verifier does.
