Very neat - thank you.

I noticed that on the 4 hour and 1 day window you can still see  
significant spikes in traffic.  It's nice how your stats, if I read  
them right, also show that it's not just a few clients going nuts.

My best guess is that your IP got into the cache of a popular DNS  
recursor for 15 minutes.  Would you be able to track the traffic  
during a spike and help figure out if that's true?  If so then it  
might be worth considering lowering the DNS TTL a little.  (Of course  
100 requests a second is still only something like 50Kbit/second ....)
