I shouldn't have run a scan of "golemtechnologies.com".
submitted the submit url and threw it into an infinite loop
Ouch.. had to bounce Apache, but not sure what caused that... other sites on the same host have had a few thousand hits in a couple hours. Maybe more traffic than expected this morning
Take a look at Cloudflare for helping to take some of the load off of the site. Works great.
Thanks, I'll check it out. I guess I need to work on my architecture, it's not holding up well with the HN load :)
