This AAC can handle A LOT of traffic (its go )
in fact 1179 request in 50seconds is pretty fast
Even tho your idea seems good i will think about the benefits of closing the webserver if it gets like 10k request oer second or so
I've seen what happens to a webengine when it gets 100,000 complicated requests on a SSD disk with 1000 Mbs network with 32 Gb Ram and 4.2 ghz processors..
It fucked up completely, and the computer didn't feel very good about it either, and since it was a very powerful computer it didn't get limited by low performance, but it got limited that the webengine was about to completely crash.
And if it crashes completely, it wont go online again unless the owner is around and notice it, and restarts it.
Also, I haven't seen but should be possible, to crash a MYSQL database by overloading requests in the right way
With this, I just want you to consider, there will always be someone who want to ruin stuffs for you, the question is... might one of these people be one who got knowledge and power to really pull shit off
