This is an interesting concept we'd have to persue. If you want to know, email me directly and I can look you up and let you know what I see.

So, our requests should not be too high on the repo1.maven.org. But as we might have missed something in the configuration, wouldn't be possible to access logs from central in some way? I mean, I know there would some privacy/security problems to do that without any restrictions. But maybe those logs could be filtered by the requesting (public) IP? This way, it would be possible for us to know if our hit count is acceptable or not according to say some typical/acceptable value you would provide? I know you all already have enough work with maven not to look for new tasks :-). Just wanting to detect my potential MRM leakages :-) (or inside developers that would directly hit central without going through our internal repo/proxy...).
