Google spiders sites via IP addres rather than domain name. I have seen a lot of this of late ESPECIALLY with load balancing. Googlebot is getting confused over which domain it is on if IP's change. I have only seen this happening with relative urls though, NEVER with absolute urls. (another reason for chosing absolute over relative).
