Not off hand. Unless you had a ROBOTINCLUDE for a local search engine that 
you didn't include with the new list. It does seem odd that the your 
original Robot count included so many requests rather than pages - robots 
don't usually request images, so the pages count for robots is usually much 
higher than the request count. In the full Browser Report (rather than the 
Browser Summary) is there one browser that made just 2855 requests?


To understand more about what is going on, you may need to use the 
BROWEXCLUDE command, rather than the BROWREPEXCLUDE command. This will allow 
you to totally exclude the requests from known browsers from all the 
reports, so that you can use the Request Report to see what files are being 
requested by the "OS Unknown" browsers, and you can use the Host report to 
see where the requests are coming from.
