My idea too. In the meanwhile I am testing some setups on my system. At the moment I am blocking IPs for 1 day that do a minimum of 200 requests per 2000 seconds. I can easily change this and even reply them every 60 seconds. It doesn't change my incoming bandwidth but surely the outgoing. I must say that it is not a problem to handle them and as someone said maybe not worth the effort, but I like to experiment and in the meanwhile giving the good guys their time, because I think the pool project should expand and clients should use it in the right way as the NTP was intended.
