Some time back we got a nasty-gram posted on the List that was clearly sent by some crank who thought we were the more famous PBS. This could be another attack based on mistaken identity. Just a theory and not a solution!

Hi,
I've turned off the PBS web server, this is because it is being
overwhelmed by unwanted page requests.
Whether it is an organised denial of service attack or just AI bots with
an unhealthy interest in bulbs I do not know.
There are common suggestions, like Apache mod_evasive but they don't
appear to work with the particular form of attack.
I expect we will try to think of a solution. Suggestions?
