    clayton.state.gov keeps coming back

    I posted a story (with picture) on a few visits I kept having from someplace called clayton.state.gov; which is weird, since I don't have that many visits. From them, many people have reported the same sightings: Pauls Domain, for instance, and, even more to the point, Antwerp calling who's even had somebody commenting from the same node, by some person who calls himself the shadow. Somebody has even seen the same host doing edits on the Wikipedia.
    My hunch is that, far from being some kind of spider run by the Echelon network to monitor blogs, it's simply a proxy server through which some traffic by many civilian servants in the State Dept go. And there are many of those, probably with time in their hands, so from time to time they drop by some unknown blogs and make some comments.

    Procrastinating civil servants. Dammit. That's what the real 007s are!

    Hi, JJ!

    The weirdest server/machine visiting my blog that I have noticed is this one:

    in-addr.arpa

    I did not know that "arpa" was a domain name. At least since Usenet, it has nothing to do with domain names.

    However, Wikipedia has a clue upon it:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.arpa

    ".arpa is an Internet top-level domain (TLD) used exclusively for Internet-infrastructure purposes."

    Regards,

    Marcelo
