well, while you're notifying planetlab and whatnot you could create and upload a dos.yaml for the time being with a content similar to this:
blacklist: - subnet: 132.65.0.0/16 - subnet: 133.0.0.0/8 description: somewhere in china - subnet: 136.159.0.0/16 - subnet: 138.250.0.0/15 - subnet: 138.48.0.0/16 - subnet: 139.165.0.0/16 - subnet: 141.219.252.0/24 - subnet: 193.1.0.0/16 description: planetlab - subnet: 193.136.16.0/24 - subnet: 193.166.167.0/24 - subnet: 195.130.124.0/22 - subnet: 200.17.192.0/19 - put that file in your app root dir and do something like this from a terminal: "appcfg.py update_dos ."
