    Add wvw.goling2003.com to the list of other names for 216.247.117.225.

    My users did not get to the site through spam links, they were directed there from compromised Interland (again!?) sites running IIS 5.0 and MicrosoftOfficeWebServer 5.0 (also really IIS 5.0). On infected sites, every page generated a new hit to wvw.goling2003.com

    Compromised sites were in these networks:
    64.225.xx.xx
    64.224.xx.xx
    The infected pages have since been cleaned.

    Connection to this hostname returns different data from the hostnames you listed, although it is the same IP address (I know this is not unusual, just trying to be clear).

    http://wvw.goling2003.com
    uses XML CDATA Object fixed by MS03-040 to try to force retrieval of:
    http://wvw.goling2003.com:53/inf.ooo
    That page currently gives a "connection refused" message. Maybe it is used to record who was vulnerable to the CDATA exploit. Users who visited the exploit page did not generate hits to inf.ooo, because their machines were patched, so I don't know if the page previously returned anything else.

    Code for wvw.goling2003.com/main.html
