Ken's Smack Down!


Thanks once more Ken.

It's been a somewhat uphill battle, but the major miscreants are consigned to get 403-Forbidden by Apache instead of tying up PHP threads in the httpBL check (anti-spammer) or the Ban list and that has cut back the load quite a bit.  I also think that 1and1 cleared up a webserver-mySQLserver connection/load issue and that has REALLY helped with responses now back into the normal range (knock wood).

I'm continuing to do log analysis several times a day to look for new 'players' to be smacked down

Best regards,
Ken

Sounds like Whack-A-Mole. We appreciate your efforts in whacking them...
