We are experiencing a DDoS attacking one of our domains - mpecllc.com

"David McCall" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.comp.security.intrusions
Message-ID <[email protected]> 
At last count I have isolated 21,000 unique IP addresses that are pounding our dns and web servers
for robots.txt and entry.php.......

This domain is effectively down because of this issue.  We had to move it to a sand box server and 
this was ineffective after 24 hours.  If I enable the domain and turn on the web site the initial
attack is 200-400 attacks per second, consisting of a GET for robots.txt or entry.php, neither of 
which exist on the site.

I've notified mci.com and verio.net abuse depts.  

I've filed a report with FBI and wanted to make you all aware of what is going on:

I have no immediate power to isolate where this is coming from but I can make you all aware of 
what it is doing exactly.  mpecllc.com is now pointed to a 127.  IP address but this has not
stopped the queries on our name servers, as you can see above.

thanks ahead of time for any help you can offer..

regards
