Seriously.
We've fought spammers and the like for years and have gotten pretty good at it. However, from time to time, we get almost a denial of service type situation where a few IPs are putting in 100s or requests per second. They end up grabbing all the server processes keeping anyone else out and slowing everything down.
The only way to solve the problem is to update routing/firewall rules to block those IP groups. I need to look into some hardware that can do this automatically and yet not block the good guys. Google always has a bunch of requests going too, so they'd look like one of the bad guys if this isn't done properly.
