Uri's questions

I recently checked the dns table in my go-daddy account and found the IP address 68.178.232.99 under the A table next to the @ (naked domain).

Whenever I tried to connect to the naked domain, it sent me to Google servers as it should (i'm working with Google apps). However, anyone who wasn't me (i.e. connected from a different IP address I guess), arrived at a page full of commercial links and the writing "This page is parked free, courtesy of Google Apps" (clearly not a Google page).

Opening the address in the browser returned a blank page (or so it seemed?). A Google search on the IP address showed inconclusive evidence and mentions related to abuse.

Of course I deleted it and replaced it with Google's IP.

Was wondering - does this mean someone hacked into my go-daddy account?

I'm running mediawiki on an apache on a regular pc running vista (don't know the specific specs, but I'm guessing at least duo core 2 2 giga hertz processor, broadband connection (500 kb/s at least, probably 1 mega).

I want to use the MediaWiki api to send a lot of requests to this server. Most of the time the requests will be sent through LAN (but sometimes through the internet). I'm talking thousands of requests every few seconds at worst case. (A lot of these requests may repeat themselves, I guess some sort of cache would help)

Will the server handle this, or do I need a stronger/dedicated computer? (I'm not looking for specific yes/no, but just want to get an idea as to what configuration of computer will support how many request per second)

Thanks
