Any else seeing an attack by Inktomi originating from Exodus address
space? I have had an average of 5 queries per second for over a day to
one specific web site. I have them blocked at the router but they keep
trying. Email to Inktomi doesn't seem to help.
> Do the IPs resolve to like jxxx.inktomi.com or simular ?
Let me guess. j4006 and j4008.
just drop inktomi packets on the floor at the borders. it will take you
*MONTHS* to get any response from inktomi.
the jxxx machine are the crawlers, but there are also some
QA lab machines who have often done bad bad things ...
just wondering what ran amok this time
The machines in the subnet you listed are also crawlers. Please send an
email to slurp@inktomi.com (this is our contact for "your crawler is abusing
my site").
You'll get an auto-reply (sorry) with some good info and a contact email if
you need more help. Let me know if you don't get your problem solved.
