Re: EIS application currently very slow

A reverse DNS on the IP would be my first step. Then you could look up
who owns that specific IP range. Sometimes large providers route a
bulk of their traffic through a small external IP range (AOL comes to
mind) and you could be seing a lot of individual users. That said
100qps sounds like a bug or DoS issue. I'm assuming the software
reported it's current version, what version did the client report?
Dumping the packet contents might also be a good idea.
