Hello,
Recently I found out that a website I used to host never changed the name servers so they are still pointing at my server. The only reason I noticed recently is because this domain is now being used to attack my server. I am getting many, many thousands of requests from this domain every day.
I know I can block a domain using htaccess at the site level but I am not sure how to do it at the server level especially when it is due to the name servers..
I have contacted the owner and the domain registrar to change the name servers but I am getting no reply and it has been 3 or 4 days.
Does anyone know how I can go about stopping this? I have been banning the ip addresses but there are too many to ban all of them.
Thanks,
Rich
