No sooner had I sent this message, I knew how to figure out what was going on. I ran a tcpdump on both incoming and outgoing requests, and managed to locate record the actual attack. It turns out that there is a denial of service (phew! No need to reinstall the server) in wordpress (yes, I've upgraded to the latest version after the last time my server died). I've reported it to the wordpress security team, along with network dumps. I'm hopeful it will be fixed soon, making us all safer. Following their recommendation, I'm not disclosing any more details at this point in time. Shachar
