    Wordpress/server help? Very strange situtation..

    My blog server recently started dying at random, and then it started getting worse, and getting worse, faster and faster... (Sounds like sex don't it?)

    Anyhow, after a lot of tracking (between load times on the server getting above 200) I was able to find an average of 70 queries a second on the MySQL db, but not the traffic coming in to any of the blogs to support that.

    Finally I started manually tailing apache log files and came across this...

    Code:
    ::1 - - [01/May/2007:21:50:06 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 1179
127.0.0.1 - - [01/May/2007:21:50:06 -0700] "POST / HTTP/1.0" 200 1179

    WTF is ::1 as an IP, and why is my localhost hitting one of my sites with a POST every second or so? I grepped and found over 25,000 of these posts, no wonder my server was throwing a fit.

    Anyone have any ideas how to track this down? I've removed the site from my httpd.conf for now, but that's hardly a solution, more of a bandaid...

              Just a domain I'd hosted, installed Wordpress on and forgotten about for a few weeks.

                  ::1 is the equiv for localhost in IPV6
                  Those queries look like are comming from a script you're running on your server.

                              There's nothing in crontab, and even after reboots it starts up immediately, it's nothing I'm running intentionally...
