IP 213.232.83.91 (Prodigy UK DSL) was hammering london.OG earlier; 5,000+hits in the last couple of hours.
Any thoughts on preventing this in future? Perhaps with Apache or at the application level. It isn't the first time it's happened either, and it drives the load on the machine way up. (Not as badly as the MT comment spammers however... b*stards.)
What I'd much prefer to see is for someone to come up with a workable, ideally executable, plan rather than just say 'check out mod_throttle' or whatever.
Cheers, Paul
