Good point.

While I haven't checked the distribution of source IPs yet, I briefly 
grepped for the User-Agent headers in the tcpdump output, and there's a 
higher than expected bot presence, particularly Baidu.

That said, there are also "normal" UAs (whatever that means, with every 
device/software pretending to be something else these days).
