A bots route to localhost

Recently my server came under what I can only describe as an attack. Clearly some poorly written bot was trying to slurp emails or some such and was sucking up bandwidth by repeatedly loading the same loop of pages.
Normally this sort of thing comes and goes and really doesn’t cause much nuisance, but when they broke the 50,000 page load mark in less than 24 hours I started to get annoyed.
