DOS attack

This site is under what appears to be a DOS attack from 70.85.45.132. Of course, it could just be a script kiddie trying to write his first email address harvester. I've notified my ISP, his ISP, and added a quick and dirty IP ban filter.

Hey. I'm vaguely affiliated with Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org). Thought you might be interested: we have also come under a DoS attack of sorts from that IP address.

If you care to discuss the matter, feel welcome to contact us on the channel #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net sometime in the near future (and someone MIGHT be around :)

Best of luck. -~~~~

I'm currently undergoing an attack.. I've banned his IP, but he's still trying.... I also notified theplanet.com of his actions, did you h ave any luck? I'm guessing no...
