IIS Logfile

Every day, I have this entry on one IIS log file:

2004-10-25 04:16:46 64.246.165.10 - W3SVC1 FILESERVER xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 GET
/robots.txt - 401 5 0 www.mydomain.com SurveyBot/2.3+(Whois+Source)
http://www.whois.sc/
2004-10-25 04:16:46 64.246.165.10 - W3SVC1 FILESERVER xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 GET / -
401 5 0 www.mydomain.com SurveyBot/2.3+(Whois+Source)
http://www.whois.sc/mydomain.com

I understand that some "whois" site is checking my server, but Is this
dangerous? Should I block this IP?

Thanks
