Hi , i have implemented a custom map type , got all the images files stored on my server , but my hosting company's firewall keeps blocking me after , is this normal ? am i doing something wrong ?

From what they say , the firewall thinks i am a DOS attack , i am using chrome if that makes a difference , from what i have read its all around the browser trying to get as many connections as it can, so it can retrieve the tile images ....

now is there something i am doing wrong ? or is the hosts firewall being over eager ?

regards

Matt

Sorry . thought this might have been a common problem , you can view my code at :

have just tried creating 10 subdomains to fetch the tiles from .. but does not seem to help ... going to meet with hosting company to see if there is anything they can do .. but they are saying that the firewall is doing its job :(

Looks sensible enough. What should we see? I just get grey
watermarked tiles, but that suggests I'm not blocked out (yet)
