Denial of service ? Wachovia ?

Hey

I had to ban the following IP today :

Code: Select all

IP address: 169.200.173.64
Host name: cic2-sn-oprx-pxy8.wachovia.com

The IP address belonged to a Guest account and appeared to be requesting over 50 pages at the same time and launching simultaneous searches, I wouldn't have really minded but they where killing my server and I had no alternative other than to kick them out or watch the server come offline.

This IP address appears to belong to a corporate proxy, so if you work for Wachovia please let me know what may have been happening.

Cheers

I wonder if there wasn't some sort of major upset of the internet Thursday. I lost my Cox cable internet Thursday around noon Arizona time and didn't get it back until this morning.

Hey

Umm ... Either way I am going to un-ban the IP this weekend and see what happens.
