A quick check of my error logs shows a big jump in use. This lovely code red
variation is making about 13 requests at a time, and it often repeats. My 
normal
error logs have been from 2-5k daily, today it's already at 100k.

Is this just because of lazy/ignorant  IIS administrators?

Why doesn't someone write a *code patch* worm for this?

Shoo! This is a FreeBSD box!
