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. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
