Still no word from google, or indication that there's anything wrong
with the robots.txt. Google's estimated hit count is going
slightly up,
instead of way down.
Why am I bugging NANOG with this? Well, I'm sure if Googlebot keeps
ignoring my robots.txt file, thereby hammering the server and
facilitating s pam, they're doing the same with a google
other sites.
(Well, ok, not a google, but you get my point.)
Why would they read/respond on NANOG to an application problem?
(seriously)
