Hi Mike,

We had about a dozen or so sources in this:

I've shut them all down of course, and have some more data for you:

1)  Started at 2010-06-03 07:44 ish UTC+0200
2)  The source port for each contributing source is static per customer
3)  Before you, they were aiming at 178.208.73.57 and 91.205.41.173

That latter host,  91.205.41.173, was also getting a lot of normal http 
traffic from customers before the attack began, that attack began around 
0130 this morning UTC+0200.

As for C&C, I'm afraid I don't have obvious hints on that -- sorry!

Anyway, we've made sure to block our customers current hammering you.
