      We have a client who has two sites for different countries, 1 US, 1 UK and redirects visitors based on IP. In order to make sure that the English site is crawable, we need to know where the googlebot searches from. Is this a US IP or a UK IP for a UK site / server?

        Can't find the reference now, but I'm 99% certain googlebot only crawls from US IP addresses.
