Well, kids, I just had to *turn off* requests because some scumbag is overloading the server with split second requests from multiple IPs endlessly. I'll have requests back on as soon as we can shut this idiot down. SonofafuckingBITCH!

Doc,
Is there anything in common to the IPs you're being attacked from? If they're all from a single netblock, you could just firewall out that netblock. If not, you can either add some kind of request authentication, or you could switch the request service to a nonstandard port and inform Your Faithful Listeners.... then if the attacks continue on the new port, you probably just narrowed down your attacker's identity.

'Course, you could also probably identify the attacker by physically visiting all your listeners and inspecting them to see which one has a dick the size of a pencil eraser....
