Why the hell would they do that?  Perhaps they get a really good route to
you or something.

I'd put up a firewall, like the Cisco PIX.  You then should be able to block
it all out.  I'd have to play around with the CacheRaq a little more to let
you know how to block it out with the built in stuff.  I'll try to do that
like tonight and let you know if I find anything.
