Stephen,

You do know that hosts files like this are extremely common around the 
Internet?

Try Googling for
hosts requests bytes transferred site:au
and see what you get.

I'm not sure that identifying the ISP from which a request comes, or 
that discovering that the Googlebot visits everyone, or that archive.org 
does the same, represents a serious breach of privacy.
