[MOBY-dev] Large amounts of requests from always the same IP address - 137.82.67.190

[Mark Wilkinson]

This is Eddie's "isAlive?" script.  It runs on a cron and hits every  
service in the registry with an empty mobyData block to see if the service  
responds with the same (as per the API).  If not, the service is flagged  
as "dead" and this information is available in the LSID metadata for that  
service.  We just started experimenting with this last week.

If it is bothering you we can reduce the frequency of the cron... I don't  
actually know how frequent it is right now.
