I'm frequently getting 503 Service Unavailable when I have limit_req turned on. On my logs:

[error] 22963#0: *70136 limiting requests, excess: 1.000 by zone "blitz", client: 64.xxx.xxx.xx, server: dat.com, request: "GET /id/85 HTTP/1.1", host: "dat.com"

My nginx configuration:

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=blitz:60m rate=5r/s;
limit_req   zone=blitz;

How do I resolve this issue. Isn't 60m already big enough? All my static files are hosted on a amazon s3.

GeoIP and Nginx

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
