Some ideas: a) Google and other intense information providers have set up their servers to refuse "too many" requests from the same user in a short period of time. b) "filtering" (nat or caching software) will be a tool to do the same not only with http but with all the TCP/IP protocols. c) If a pair of XOs turn down an AP... it is an "internal" DOS. But, in my humble opinion, I wont call it a DOS because there is no intentional attack to the server.
