Throttling besting blocking

    Throttling appears to be taking precedence over blocking. The following entry for an IP address is in LiveTraffic several times.

    “… blocked by firewall for TimThumb <= 1.33 – Remote File Download”

    However, at the top of the page it says “Throttling IP XXX. Exceeded the maximum number of page not found errors per minute for humans.”

    The IP address is not blocked in the htaccess file.

    OR…

    In looking at the LiveTraffic, the user/bot is changing their user-agent frequently, I’m guessing so that it appears to not always be the same person. Does this affect WF’s algorithm? Is this why the IP address is not actually blocked?
