geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca bad bot

First the bot falls into a bot trap it found from reading the robots.txt file.
mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; .net clr 1.1.4322)
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

Just to make sure it hots the bot trap again with another useragent
mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 5.0; windows xp) opera 6.05 [en]
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca


Then it tries to scan the site. Note how its user agent changes as it scanns.

mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; .net clr 1.1.4322)
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

This one gets stoped by BB as improper headers
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows XP) Opera 6.05 [en]
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; .net clr 1.1.4322)
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

Stoped by BB
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows XP) Opera 6.05 [en]
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; .net clr 1.1.4322)
66.207.118.206 geosign-v47.fibrewired.on.ca

It just keeps hammering like this but never gets in.

SO what is this bot doing?
