Are you getting lots and lots of submissions with one identical popcon ID, or lots of cases of 10-20 systems duplicating different popcon IDs? I think those lead to different conclusions. If it's the second, I agree with the suggestion of cloned VMs. Containers are making this a bit less common, but building out a system and then cloning it repeatedly used to be the most common way of scaling a web service in environments such as AWS. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
