Web Outages - Denial of Service

[Nanook <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     I don't know if it is related to the conflicker worm or just Spring Break,
but we expierienced multiple denial of service attacks directed at the web
server today that resulted in severe slowdowns for a period of time while we
determined the source and blocked them.  Rebooting was necessary to recover.
