If  you're  saying that a hosting client (obviously, this was what the
post  in  question  was  referring  to  in  using  the  word "client":
http://www.i360hosting.com) with 100+ users is never going to hit your
server  100 times an hour from the same IP, you've never run a hosting
company. Perhaps you're referring to ERRORS from a single IP, which is
a different story and certainly suspect.

I'm  sure  you've  misunderstood  the issue, since surely you wouldn't
make  such a mistake if you had all the variables in hand. Nobody said
anything  about  simultaneous  connections  (except  you),  merely the
likelihood  of  legit  NAT clients being interpreted as a concentrated
attack  over  an period of time designed to catch baddies. As BlackIce
can  be  tweaked  to accomodate whitelisted IPs and higher thresholds,
this  is  essentially  a  non-issue, but your conclusion is absolutely
wrong for a hosted environment. Grepping just proves this point.
