[SURBL-Discuss] SURBL Server mostly back

[Jeff Chan]

It too longer than it should, but there are now filters in place
against the syn flood my server got on port 80 in addition to
icmp attacks probably against DNS.  They came from many different
source addresses and were directed to my server only, so it was
definitely a mildy competent DDOS attack.  Peak traffic was about
20 Megabits, probably limited by the available network bandwidth.

None of this significantly affected SURBL performance, and things
should be operating normally again now.  We will be taking steps
to further reduce the effects of attacks like this.

Until the SYN packets stop, the web site will remain down.

Would anyone like to help mirror the largely static
and relatively tiny SURBL web site?
