According to http://ws.arin.net/whois "Secure Computing" ownes the NetRange 206.169.110.64 - 206.169.110.95 / 206.169.110.64/27
According to some web-sources the harvesting methods of this company seem to be doubtful or kind of "experimental". Check this source:

The company wishes to send questions about their "page-verifier" to them. Check
http://www.securecomputing.com/PageVerifier.cfm
for this. Eventually HoneyPot hits here from one of the 31 IPs can be flagged here as deriving from a Security company's harvester.
