[pLog-svn] website

[Jon Daley]

I wrote the below email this morning, but didn't send it due to being 
stressed about the server being down.

I am now back in Pittsburgh, and the machine appears to be fine, as long 
as I leave the lifetype sites turned off.

I wonder if there is a known vulnerability in phpbb or something that 
someone is exploiting?  I don't know how one would get a complete server 
crash without any logs or anything from a php process, remotely - maybe 
the site has been hacked?  I haven't looked through the files yet.

If anyone else has time(Reto?), that would be great.

---------------------------------

 	Search engines have taken down the server a couple times in the 
last week.  I am traveling today, and had to take lifetype.net down, as I 
can't have it killing everything else.
 	I talked to an employee of Google, and I gather that the search 
engines are trying to be more aggressive in having the most up-to-date 
content, thus causing them to grab data continuously throughout the day. 
MSN is the worst offender, but some of the little unknown search engines 
are causing trouble too.
 	We'll probably need to find some caching or something.  If anyone 
has time to look up some caching for phpbb3, that would be great.
