Greetings. Sometime today toolserver was making about 10,000 DNS requests per second. This was a little too fast and resulted in something of a DOS attack on our upstream resolver. :)
If you caused this, please send me an email. You're not in trouble, but I'd like us to avoid this happening again.
Thanks.
