Hi Mister:

This text is being translated. Sorry, I'm not remember your name but I need that you know this information.

Iam client, have a reseller plan in the chevette server. The 98% of the time your server work fine and is really great work with you. But exist an problem strange. In many times, 6 o 7, the http of the server down. Only the http, the 80 port. The rest of the services work fine.

Well, I understand that in internet servers can occurr problems but I with know if is possible that you discover the problems before that I or my clients, for that in all the times I or my clients discover the problem, and all very unhappy how you can understand.

Is all, for the rest of the service that you provide Iam very happy, is very stable, and do not nothing bad to say.

Greetings.

Are you sure it not from a flood or attack? When I find my forum slow or non responsive I quickly hit error log and find some yahoo bombarding my site with request. I then ban their IP. I ban 2-3 IPs a week from this.

Even some but very few are legit, I had to ban a certain yahoo crawl server as it came in with to many connection and sat there all day.

Yahoo has hundreds of ip:s. Try this instead in a robots.txt file:
User-Agent: Yahoo! Slurp
Disallow: /

User-Agent: Slurp
Disallow: /

But this wont solve the server down problem.

Actually, most of us probably don't want to keep out Yahoo entirely, we just wonder why it has to bombard our sites with so many visitors when Google can index the whole thing with one.

Try these lines instead - it's knocked them down to manageable numbers for me.

User-agent: Slurp
Crawl-delay: 1500

Yep, I don't mind yahoo poksing around but not like a band of ravin idiots.
