I have a friend that has a DOS Attack going on against their website.  It is being done by someone with a very 
popular website trying to squash a little guy.  He is doing it be placing 1 pixel by 1 pixel inline frames in his 
webpages and having them load my friends webpage.  It is killing his server and bandwidth.
 
What can we do to block?  The Server is W2K with IIS.

elsewhere.
