I assume those 150k ips you ban is automatic with your ls settings?
I probably know what you're going to say about trying to slow them down but I'm down to listen.

yeah dude you need to set up load balancing. I tried so stubbornly for so long to scale my sites up as far as a single server could possibly manage but after a while -- you're not hitting hardware limits anymore, you're hitting software limits. kernels, databases, network interfaces -- they become unstable under too much load, no matter how much compute resources they have access to.
