MGR: Router problems solved(?)

The router problems were apparently caused by somebody sending lots and
lots of malformed packets.  Most recently at least, the traffic was coming
through (or appearing to come through) 12.147.76.109, which is apparently
a Counterstrike server in Germany.  We figure it's either virus-infected,
or somebody's spoofing their address on attacks to get them in trouble.

At any rate, our ISP has blocked packets from (or apparently-from) that IP
and the problem has gone away.  Of course, if the traffic resumes from
another address, we'll have to get it blocked again, but that will tell us
it's a deliberate attack rather than a random one.
