Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only one.  Tuesday of this week our hits
skyrocketed to double our normal traffic (from 56000 hits/day to almost
130000/day)- as it turns out GoogleBot and the AV spider were going to town.

It quickly increased the load on our servers...

The google bots and the av spider accounts for 8 of the top different
referrers out of 15.

Things have quieted down now.

Say, while we're talking about logs, what do you use to read them?  We're
using Webalyzer right now and it s¨cks.
