The problem is, if you dont add the ip ranges, it will see the google user agent coming from an unknown ip range and block them
The easy place to find the ip ranges, is on the bad behaviour website
Download the current versions from there and then look at the search engine file
Google ranges according to that are
"66.249.64.0/19", "64.233.160.0/19", "72.14.192.0/18", "203.208.32.0/19", "74.125.0.0/16", "216.239.32.0/19", "209.85.128.0/17"

"207.46.0.0/16", "65.52.0.0/14", "207.68.128.0/18", "207.68.192.0/20", "64.4.0.0/18", "157.54.0.0/15", "157.60.0.0/16", "157.56.0.0/14"
