nm that didn't fix it

talking out loud ...

getting lots of page not found errors in the log, can't believe that would
be enough to kill it.  maybe it's getting indexed?

found this:

When using Drupal’s “pretty URLs” which uses Apache’s mod_rewrite to, well,
make URLs pretty, all requests that the web server does not process
(including errors) will go through Drupal. Going through Drupal means a long
boot-strapping process to initialize Drupal and load all its modules, and at
least one database request to find out a URL does not exist and to return an
error 404. Too many requests for a non-existent file can basically become a
DoS attack.
