broke Inktomi floods?

Inktomi (now Yahoo!) sends it's spiders all over the Internet. Lately some of our systems are reporting that they open many HTTP connections to our web sites, without ever sending any data and immediately disconnecting. This is getting to a level where it disturbs us.

Is something broke over there? I can't seem to be able to reach them and this is becoming a real annoyance.

Anyone else observing this?
