For one thing, what does "excessively accessing my website" means? One person's "excessive" may well be another's "normal". Perhaps your MySQL settings are too rigid, and that the request is just a typical ordinary request. Another thing is that you seem fairly certain that your MySQL becomes unstable because of the website accessing activities of this host. Is it possible that it could be one of your server side scripts (PHP, Perl, etc) that is the real problem? As for your question whether DenyHosts would be useful in reducing or stopping your problem; I doubt it will. In fact the core function of DenyHosts is mostly related to SSH functions. Sorry for the late reply because I was in public holiday mood :P Hi Zaki,

I've a problem where there is an process (i believe so) from 1 machine that excessively accessing my website, causing MYSQL to broken. I've tried blocking the IP address, but it seem it the IP is dynamic and changed from time to time. I don't want to block it in a wide range as I'm afraid it'll block other users as well. Can Denyhost preventing from this kind of attacks? Or do you have other suggestions? Hi, I’m newbie in web hosting related stuff.
