All of these connections were putting a strain on our server which resulted in slow responses.

I was able to successfully block the two subnets which immediately dropped the server load to under 10% of capacity and return our load times to normal.

I'll be keeping an eye on "guest" usage for a while in case this happens again.
okay----yes, do so. i've noticed a
LOT of VERY(44444) suspicious activity, lately. but yeah---may be a commnis' conspiracy going on.
