>So we've blocked the two ip addresses.  We'll see if anyone whines.


dude, it's one of them services that checks to make sure the server is up

somebody from the client consumer protection group wants to make sure that
their fabulous organization is not deprived of having their most excellent
web site available, and wants to be notified immediately if the server goes
down so they can get on the horn to the isp

that's one type of service you can sign up for on the web, they will page
you or email you or whatever when the server they're watching goes down

another type is a notification service where you register a page with them
that you want to keep tabs on, and they notify you when the page has been
updated -- although this type, i can't see them hitting your home page
every 332 seconds just to see when it gets updated....

but yeah, blocking the ip seems okay to do, until a human being lets you
know why they're doing it...
