OK.

 

 

Have you grid moving the page that the offending traffic is visiting with a simple redirect to a new location? Generally automated DDOS attacks won't follow the redirect... Of course when they do, you'll need to do something else (A small static page with a meta refresh to a new location perhaps?).

 

 

Also severely cutback the amount of idle time that open connections can stay connected. Browsers won't care, although it will probably increase your connection rate...
