We've blocked a few of the worst, but mostly just added servers to deal with the load.
We actually found out who one of the worst ones was and contact them. It turns out it was a major legit proxy, but they had a bug in their proxy code that caused refetching of one of our urls over and over. They were very easy to work with and they fixed the bug.
