Another one hit by the Code Red storm, huh...

Putting them in an acl didn't seem to make a huge difference for us either -
our Squids were still needing to process the connections, and getting so
many of them that legitimate traffic was slowing right down. We ended up
using ipchains to deny all requests from affected customers. But we only had
8 or so - you guys might have a few more...

...1.4 million GETs since 4oclock this morning...sigh...
