That's my script :-(. Ask sent in mail about it about 5am PST today. It's not hard to cause a DoS by hitting a plain CGI script. I'd like to move that script to mod_perl with a very limited number of children and reverse proxy it. I'm not sure if Brian wants to go that way or not. Having a CGI script as /index.html is an easy thing to hit. The script has timeout's but nothing long enough to prevent this from happening. >Pretty scary... Scary that it could be an attack?
