if that is true forget it to seeek for workariunds on your site and contact the syadmin on the other side and explain him that he is a fool * he has to reject with a 4xx response if you are over rate-limits * he has at least to REJECT packets instead to DROP if he is doing that with iptables and a irresponsible rate limit * he has to reconsider the irresponsible to not say laughable limits you can't work around every broken server out there
