[thelist] Spammers bringing my site down?

I run a pretty good-sized website that gets between 80-120,000 unique
visits per month. This morning, the site suddently went down because
there were more than 200 connections to the database (shared hosting
environment).

My suspicion is that we have a couple of spammers that are trying to
hit the contact form. I have a couple of IP addresses that have a low
number of visits, but have used a ton of bandwidth. Any way for me to
figure out who the culprit is?
