If they are serious they use multiple IP addresses.  If you are self hosting, for a DOS case their is not much you can do other than blocking the ip address(s) on the router.

Usually after a couple of days they get bored and try some where else.

It is worth having some internal filter mechanism in your app that checks for page abuse, so they get 403's.

Actually, what I was seeing, once the webapp developer pointed me in the right direction, was several dozen 404s per *second* from a single IP.

Not sure if Fail2ban would even work in this situation: like the overwhelming majority of the customer Tomcat installations we've done, this one is running on an IBM Midrange box (AS/400, iSeries, or whatever IBM is calling it this week). Which is probably how the huge amount of CPU usage was so easy to spot: WRKACTJOB is more user-friendly than any Linux-equivalent (or Mac-equivalent or WinDoze-equivalent) I've seen.
