Subject: web crawling problem
I have a server that gets about 1M hits per day. Over the past week,
this has exploded and the server is using about 80% of the cpu. We
figure that someone is using a webcrawler since when we analyze the
tomcat logs, there are thousands of hits from one ip address (every day
it's a different ip address).
Is there an open source or commercial product that will stop this?
