Flooding hobbit

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi all
 
Hoping somebody has encountered this before.
We have put BBWin on a few Windoze servers, but one of the, a DC, has a
HUGE event log.
So large, that hobbit is freaking out, and doing the "Data flooding from
1.2.3.4, closing connection" thing.
 
I know this is hobbit protecting iteself from a DOS attack, but is there
a way around this?
Can I somehow tell hobbit not to do this for that IP address?
 
Unfortunately, because of its function, we can't reduce the logging on
the Windoze server, so we need to either
    a) get hobbit to handle the problem (desirable solution)
    b) get bbwin to truncate the event log (less desirable)
 
Anybody seen this problem before?
Any ideas?
 
Regards
    Vernon
