Hi all you wonderful monks!

There are five different types of cloaking:
1) User Agent Cloaking (UA Cloaking)
2) IP Agent Cloaking (IP Cloaking)
3) IP and User Agent Cloaking (IPUA Cloaking).
4) Referral based cloaking.
5) Session based cloaking

Now, User Agent Cloaking is really easy to detect. I have no problem there. Tell the page that you are a IE 6.0 on the first check and the Googlebot/1.2 on the second and see what it gives you. No problem...

What I don't know how to do is to send a different IP to get around the IP Agent Cloaking. Does anyone know a way of doing this with LWP or some other mod? I have no limits on what I can use, but can't seem to find a good way to do this. I only need to tell the Webserver that I'm the Googlebot, doesn't need to be any tricky, get into the internal network, garbage. Just the hit to the Webserver, so if they are running a cloaked page they believe me enough to send me what they would send the Googlebot.

Any ideas?
