Opposite of my finding. In fact, I find that most of the insane clients poll more frequently when the server doesn't reply or replies with wacko and/or Kiss-Of-Death packets. It's so bad that I find that not replying, or replying with kiss-of-death to abusive clients, will triple or quadruple my overall request rate (some of the insane clients go from once a minute to multiple requests every second in response to kiss-of-death.) (I'm surprsied we don't talk more about Kiss-Of-Death here. It's just so fun to use the phrase!)
