I've been getting daily messages from the server about apache being maxed out, and it seems some IP has been calling up 100 urls at once or something. It happens 3-4am EST You think it's an exploit probe or data scraping? I've blocked the ip address, so I will see if it works tonight.
not a spider, it was submitting wildcard urls , like forums.php%ef3$@#$2 clearly exploits for overflows or whatnot
For what it's worth: http://www.interworx.com/community/three-apache-modules-that-can-help-keep-sites-safe/ Might be worth looking into these if you haven't already.
