I have to wonder if Google thinks 10-20 lookups per second from a single client is a "light/medium" load. That's 36K - 72K lookups per hour. If I were you I would tcpdump the traffic and see what Google is "really" sending back. I doubt that Google cares about the distinction between a browser and other types of clients.<div>

Didn't really do the math in my head. Really should have said "heavy" load :) As for it caring whether it's a client or a browser, I'm not sure. I read somewhere that seeing some of the header attributes (that typically browsers send) it will either send you an MP3 file or return a "404" but that doesn't seem to be the problem anyone else has mentioned when using it with mod_shout. I do know about the captcha as I saw it on 2-3 occasions but it might have its own rules i.e. 10 translations in one minute from the same IP might throw it out to prevent abuse. No one else seems to have run into it, it seems though so that might mean that kind of a rule doesn't exist. Needs more investigation</div>
