Thank you Eric! I was on the site when the "bot count" went from over 25K back down to zero (temporarily) .... it's now at 15K. But the site can handle 15K concurrent bots .... it croaks at around double that.
These totals are 10x what they have been just a few days ago ...
There is still a clean-up on the bot aisle needed ...
I would do an analysis of these 10-25K bogus IP connections.... there IS a common denominator .... trust me
.
Whack-A-Bot .... in a spray can .... good luck... it hasn't been fixed yet... but the site can handle this threshold....
Whew
!
