We have a number of people here (about ten or fifteen) who use the mozilla.org servers, and all of us are translated to that single external address. Please, raise the limit of concurrent connections per IP address to allow for heavily NATted organizations. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Operate NAT infrastructure on company site 2. Create multiple concurrent connections to irc.mozilla.org 3.

irc -> pavlov Because of clonebot problems that we've had in the past, I think individual overrides for IPs that we know are company firewalls (like yours) would probably be more in order. This is what was done for the AOL firewall for example. Up to Stuart though.
