RE: DOS ATTACK

If he's got it up on his website in a ton of 1-pixel frames, chances are
all his [the attacker] web visitors are loading several copies of the
victim's page.  The only real way to filter that would be by filtering
based on HTTP_REFERRER.  Unless I'm mistaken I don't believe Apache yet
has a mechanism to enforce mandatory delays between the same page being
loaded from the same IP.

Sounds like this attack is coming from a specific IP. Blocking that IP
on a router would be one obvious answer.
