Afternoon Dana, My web and database are on the same box, its a dedicated box in telihouse, but I'm on a shared firewall so they're reluctant to place a block on the IP's as it may affect other customers traffic.
I've contact the ISP for the offending clients with copies of the server event logs, and literally within a few minutes all attempts appear to have stopped, From the logs I've been hit several times a second for the past 11 days from various IP's all of which are on the same ISP. I've had about 2 hours worth of peace and quiet on the box without any dodgy attempts which is good news. I've had strange happenings in the past on my website, so I've always blocked the offending IP's using IIS which seems to work. The database server only needs to be connected to locally from the machine its sat on as I usually connect through RDC and us the admin tool live on the box. Is there a method for closing the server so it only receives connections through the local server, It's only 2 or 3 of my CF apps that use it.

Normally I would just put blocks at the router/firewall level to not allow the SQL machine (if its seperate form the web server) to communicate to anything outside the domain, or more specifically only to the web server (depending on your configuration). The only other opening I would have normally is to allow the client tools to connect remotely from a specific ip block. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
