Matter of fact I did, but the amount of hosts is increasing. I'm currently assuming, that there some sort race going 
on. Seems like one or more groups trying to "expand" their bot nets.

Why bot nets? Well, on most of the systems I checked I found that the IRC ports are open or on other ports some IRC 
alike service is running.
