WOW! That is really aggressive, if that is fully automated. I would hate to guess how many emails to ISPs and Law Enforcement my server would be generating, if I used you system. My software firewall logs all pings, and there are lots of them, on the 15-20 IPs I have on the server.

You do this on my domain(s) and on the sixth ping you would be locked out of access to the system, and on the 15th ping, you would be reported to your ISP in the hopes of getting your service terminated, with additional reports to your ISP periodically thereafter, and then followed by a complaint filed with appropriate Law Enforcement. You see, there are much better ways of evaluating a service provider than what could be considered a DDOS or intrusion attempt. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
