Hey, I am developing an app which "awards" users for visiting a specific link. However, I want to ensure this is not abused by people writing scripts to visit the link rather than manually viewing it.
Is there a way to check how many times a specific IP address has accessed your application within the last minute and deny access if the visit count is higher than, say, 20. I guess I could use the memcache to insert the users IP (if they have not visited before), then on each subsequent visit check if the IP exists and if so increment the visit count. However, will this work if you have thousands of concurrent users? Is there a better way?
