Subject: freeze break: block hits from a domain thats referring too much


Our proxy boxes have jumped up to max httpd processed due to a ton of
referring hits from a single domain/page.

I'm going to redirect them to 403 for now and see if that brings
processes down on the proxies.

It's not causing an outage, but it could impact things if it keeps
going on. It may also be affecting smolts.org.

Retroactive +1s? ;)
