  I am not trolling here.  The scenaio I'll describe is *actually* happeningto me as I write this message.

  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.  Ifit was going any faster, I'd probably block it with the firewall, but myquestion to Dave is, what happens on your server when something like thishappens?  You don't log the IP, so now what?
