Denial of Service attack

[Mike Davis]

Just a quick note about the server performance.

If you've been experiencing any connection problems, or performance issues
when visiting the builders web site, it's most likely because we've been the
target of a Denial of Service attack, or Smurf attack for about a week now.
Our router has been successfully dropping all the Smurf traffic, nothing is
getting through to the servers... but it is still using a considerable
amount of bandwidth.

I've contacted our service provider to see about getting the offending
addresses blocked at their router so it's not using up all our available
bandwidth, but for some reason I'm having trouble getting results from them.

Anyway, everything should still be working, just slowly on occasion.

Mike
