Yesterday, we suddenly have been getting about one hit per second, on the same web page from a host known as:

• http://blo.gs/ping.php
• 66.218.65.40
• blastws1.my.scd.yahoo.net

Why would it do such a thing? The page it hits has not even changed in over three weeks! If anybody has an insights, I'd be very grateful if you could share them. Sending a message through http://blo.gs/contact.php so far has not produced a result. This host is run by Yahoo, and one would hope that they both have their polling policies and their respond-to-questions policies under control.

For now, our firewall is instructed to kill all incoming traffic from that host.
