Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 24, 200717 yr We recently installed 2.3.1 and immediately our visitors at any given time shot up from 200-300 to 600-788, with as many as 1000. This slows us up and overwhelms our rather feeble dedicated server.I notice hundreds of Guests have IP = 74.6.*.*Looked it up in http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox and found lj611725.crawl.yahoo.net (74.6.70.37)74.6.0.0 - 74.6.255.255Inktomi Corporation701 First AveSunnyvale, CAUS Netblock Adminnetblockadmin@yahoo-inc.com+1-408-349-3300Evidently the Yahoo crawler.I sent them an email but doubt that will have any effect.What I'd like is an option to restrict guests from a given IP range to 50 or so concurrent sessions.

July 24, 200717 yr I never said there was anything wrong with the board, I said I'd like an option to limit their concurrent sessions.Thanks for the link - (I had already read that topic). Posting this new one because I am making a suggestion/request.
July 24, 200717 yr If you haven't already you should install a php cache engine on your server. It helps out quite a bit.I would recommend xcache, eAccelerator, or APC.
July 24, 200717 yr I added 74.6.*.* to the ban filter and to my surprise, it looks like that worked. Visitors dropped from 800 to 500.See http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...t&p=1497385
