No problem y'all.

I ordered some more memory tonight and it should be here tomorrow or the next day. Then I can put the Online Guide back up.

Did they tell you why the memory you ordered first wasn't working properly?

One word:
CompUSA

I ordered straight from Crucial this time.

I think I've identified the problem.

It seems to be related to a flood of requests coming from Bank One in Columbus. It is happening about once an hour and grinding my server to a halt.

I'm not sure if it's intentional Denial of Service at this point or if it's Bank One's proxy server snarfing my site but it is killing me.

I'm working on blocking the traffic while trying to get real work done also.

Wow, that's wild! I wonder if you should feel honored that your site's getting a DOS attack?
