Many thanks for your advice,
perhaps this typical error message may explain what I mean. It gives the IP of the one trying to access the site. It may or may not be genuine. However, if I can analyse the thousands, I can pick up those that are trying many times a minute. An automated process. I hope that you can see my point, Multiple access in short periods suggests a Zombie. If I can isolate recurring IPs, then I have them.
If necessary, I'm prepared to pay some one to do this for me.
Kindest Regards, Bill.
