We had this a while back and since then I've seen others with the problem. The guests are all from different places so banning or blocking won't help. In our case they were all doing different things.
The best suggestion I got was to check my referrers. I blocked the #1 on the list but it didn't seem to help a lot. But after a while they just sort of calmed down on their own I guess. Later my host (shared server) said I should have contacted them but I don't know what they could have done.
I just checked and it says my most users was 115 on 7/8 which is at least tolerable. But still unbelievable for my slow forum. But much better than 600!
