Heh. There are all sorts of commercial services that scan for DNS,
traceroute information, etc. And a Mickeysnot hosted client may be doing

I also find www.samspade.org to be somewhat more useful, since they also do
a traceroute for me (and my local firewall often blocks those, depending on
where I am).
