Attack against postgresql.org ...

There are some days where High Speed Internet for Personal use just should
never have been invented ...

Over the past 24 hours, we've been experiencing a problem with the network
that has taken us a bit to identify as being at our end, and a little bit
longer to identify as being with the postgresql.org vServer ... someone is
attacking it ...

our provider has blocked the IP for now, so that direct access to the
vServer isn't possible, but due to the delivery rules, and MXs, email
should still flow properly ...

The attacking IP, from the logs, appears to be "87.230.6.96" ...

I'm lowering the TTL for the the DNS right now, and, if this persists past
a few hours, I will change the IP and hope that they are attacking the IP,
and not the domain ...

Perhaps a complaint to their ISP is in order --- RIPE suggests
net-abuse@hosteurope.de

That looks 1 level too high, the immediate source seems to be
http://www.ehost.pl/onas.php

They could probably act faster and more at the source... down on the
page from the link above you can find abuse@ehost.pl for complaints.

I would go to both. ehost.pl could very well be some kid in his
parent's basement and may be the problem. RIPE says that hosteurope.de
is responsible for that IP. You have to take them at their word.
