You'll normally find that port scanners scan a range of ports, not the same port multiple times. A DOS is normally caused my sending massive amounts of traffic to a single socket, which is what the OP seems to be describing. If they were seeing a port scanner I'd expect to see them complaining of lots of ports being scanned not just port 80.
