[ale] hacker problems.

[jj at spiderentertainment.com]

Folks, I need some help with this issue.

I have a 2.0.36 kernel and hosting about 60 sites, on a wicked machine.
But recently I have been getting opps messages, and then(few days later,
after opps messages disappear) the machine went down.
What happened is that CPU load average was well above 300%, I couldn't
telnet into it or anything.
I checked for syn flood but that is not the case. How can I debug this ?
