They're filtering through their servers (eg http://i.calltheshots.com/P=43&purpose=1&txtURL=http://www.redherring.com/pci/home.html )

or closer to home: http://i.calltheshots.com/P=43&purpose=1&txtURL=http://www.scripting.com

http://i.calltheshots.com/P=43&purpose=1&txtURL=http://www.wiredfool.com

What's their range of Ip addresses?

According to men and mice, http://us.mirror.menandmice.com/cgi-bin/DoDig?host=&domain=i.callTheShots.com&type=A

216.34.6.247

From looking at my server logs, they are passing thorough the browser signature: ip: 216.34.6.249 Hmmm, matches the men and mice pretty closely. 

agent	string:	Mozilla/4.61 [en] (WinNT; U)
code	number:	200
host	string:	www.wiredfool.com
pathargs	string:	
searchargs	string:	
size	number:	3516
threads	number:	2
ticks	number:	24
time	date:	11/16/99; 4:24:42 PM
url	string:	/

And a little script to get rid of their class C from my web server. This resides at config.mainresponder.callbacks.controlAccess.blockCallTheShots (this is on a real recent version of frontier, YMMV)

if client beginsWith "216.34.6." {
	scriptError("You are Not Allowed, this is my server and I call the shots.")}

Poof, no problem, although it would be more fun to redirect them....

if client beginsWith "216.34.6." {
	scriptError("!redirect http://www.biteme.com")}

Or direct them to the copyright code, or some other destination.

Active servers are fun.
