Over the past hour, I've over 2,700 requests in my client torture test,
specifically, test #22, leading into the "Redirect From Hell" portion. If
it was going any faster, I'd probably block it with the firewall, but my
question to Dave is, what happens on your server when something like this
happens? You don't log the IP, so now what?

Yeah, IMO you need to log IP addresses in case you need to blacklistthem either in the server or the firewall, in cases of abuse. If youonly kept hashes of addresses, you could check them in the server forblocking, but it would not be as fast.
