I'm not sure about this and it's not very useful, but the following were cute.

216.105.98.132 europeantravelcafe.com is a very likely hit that:

had a "Plan Your Trip" link in 2010: web.archive.org/web/20100724024623/http://www.europeantravelcafe.com/ linking to an external website: secure-cert.net/~etc/transport.html
and had the link removed in 2011: web.archive.org/web/20110201192245/http://europeantravelcafe.com/

This suggests that this was an internal site management link for the site operators which was later noticed and removed across versions, leaking the management method in the process.

199.187.208.12 webofcheer.com has an exceedingly weird HTML page title:

pg1c
