One of my Web servers (http://asearch.mccmedia.com/ last night was attacked
by a very unfriendly robot that requested many documents per second. This
robot was originating from 205.177.10.2. I've tried to resolve that IP
address, but I'm unable thus far. However, a traceroute shows that a
cais.net router was the last hop before the domain in which the offending
robot lives, so I sent an e-mail to the postmaster there, hoping that he or
she will know whose host that is and will forward it (assuming that whoever
owns this thing is a CAIS customer).

Has anyone else encountered this one? It doesn't identify itself at all.
