Has anyone noticed that your recent log entries filled with yahoo! crawlers looking for weird files?

You probably have not noticed anything. I just wanted to double-check if anyone by any chance had seen suspicious crawling entries from yahoo! IPs.

When yahoo! crawler started to ask
GET /WhiteDove.htm
GET /thecar.htm
...
It looks very fishy to me.

I am getting that too, I noticed the other day and today i got an error message in my log like this:

66.196.90.171] File does not exist: /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/r89c01wb.htm

It says it is a Yahhoo slurp.
Should it be something to worry about? Should I Ban the IP?
If its not Yahoo lets squish them, if it is Yahoo what are they trying to do?

It seems that someone is spoofing yahoo! crawler IPs. Banning it will also ban the legitimate crawlers. So far, no big surprises yet, if it were to get worse, then I would have to ban the IPs.
