It's often one IP (v4!) per one request. It's insane how many resources are being burned on this stupidity.

Part of the reason I did this is to get good numbers on how bad the problem is: A link maze is a great way to make otherwise very stealthy bots expose themselves.

Even if this is true how long can that be sustained before they start to be recycled? I bet the scrappers make a whole lot more requests than they have IPs
