proxies and some browsers can easily spoof user-agents but there's no

Hmm.. Odd.. I've seen machines that dual-boot NT and XP and not using either
NAT or proxying - I'd assume they'd at one point or another try to download
the NT and XP patch lists.

Hell.  I've got a machine that has been known to be simultaneously downloading
both the AIX and RedHat patch lists.  And it wasn't doing NAT or proxying. ;)
