Thanks for the advice Frank. I host the box myself and have a great hardware
firewall sitting in fron of the box. Nothing unusual in my logs there. I may
have a couple of files on the box heavily requested, but since I could still
access the static pages quickly and without problems, it pretty much
eliminates a possibility of DDoS. If I were DDoS'd I wouldnt have been able
to hit the box. Also, once I was in running top didnt show any heavy loads
on the CPU.
