www4 Brief Downtimes

Post by porcupine »

To anyone who noticed, yet hasn't asked why. HTTP has died on www4 three times over the past 4 days due to DDoS attacks against a particular reseller. The site being attacked has since been disabled, and is on "strike two" out of three (aka, should it happen again, the site is banned from our services).

My appologies go out to anyone who has been affected by this and noticed, the attacks were connection flood based, and their effect dimmed as soon as the site was disabled (as it was no longer connecting to mysql at 10mb of RAM per connect).
