What does that mean? DoS attack?

I've been getting the 410 half the time lately, and the other time, it takes a good while to load (20 seconds or so, vs. the usual 2-5 it usually takes). I could see the DOS attack being the culprit, though.

Thousands of these during what kind of time period? There's no doubt that these requests are putting a huge strain on the server. I think a few of these requests a second from multiple (or even a single host) could cause problems like our whiteouts. The returned amount I think was also 45KB, which flatout seems wrong for a 404 error which I would have thought would have been 0.

Mind emailing me a sample of the logs during a CF "whiteout"?
