web crawlers shutting down my site
I have a tomcat site running on a server2008r2 machine.
My site is no longer responsive.
a netstat -a command yields the results in the attached file
how do I block all those things from jamming my port 80?
thanks

Hi gateguard,
interesting read here on managing spiders on a site:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard
You could configure the CrawlerSessionManagerValve
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Crawler_Session_Manager_Valve
you should also consider preventing Tomcat from putting the session ID into the URL.
Otherwise it appears in search engines.
From Tomcat 7 this should work...

<session-config>

Thanks, Guy. I'm going to try these solutions.
I do have a question regarding the wikipedia article, something I don't understand.
The article talks about keeping crawlers out of the site or out of specific folders, but what I don't understand is why are the crawlers establishing all those port 80 connections, which is effectively shutting down the site. Is that their intent?
Thanks again.

Some search engine spiders are pretty aggressive, for example the "baiduspider" entries are from a Chinese Search Engine called "Baidu".
You hear a lot of stories about them where they will have 30 IP's all hitting your site, one after another, going through each and every page like that, and every page is 30 different sessions.
That's how the scrappers roll apparently...

Not every crawler will respect it, but you could use your robots.txt file to disallow crawling by most bots:
