Nodalpoint: comment spam

Nodalpoint is periodically being hammered by comment spam. Unfortunately it looks to be the work of a Botnet, so I am unable to simply ban by IP. Due to the limited resources on the server the comment spam (which is not working) is acting more like a DoS attack. I may have to take down the site until I can implement some kind of solution. So if service gets slow, or disappears all together, you know why.

I'm now running mod_security

I'm now running mod_security and mod_evasive. This seems to have stop the majority of comment spam for the moment.

Next-up is referrer spamers and RSS bandwidth hogs :)
