Hello Robert,

Welcome to the wonderful world of owning a webserver.  You want to look for
the IP netmask option in the Xitami configuration and add the offending IP
address to the list.  Restart Xitami and cross your fingers that the
setting takes hold.  The DoS can still carry on for a few minutes but
should subside as they realize nothing is happening.  You might also want
to consider turning the bandwidth restrictions on.
