Is my consumption of the Twitter API affected by other Apigee users who also consume it?
As I understand it, Twitter limits API usage by IP address (unless authenticated)... so if I'm the only consumer via Apigee, I probably benefit from your load balancing range of IP addresses. But if there are others, and we begin to max out or the balancing has been statistically unfortunate, then what happens when Twitter's limits kick in?

Inappropriate?Hi Marsh,
That is a great description of the proxy problem. We have two approaches to this:
1. we will grab more IP addresses
2. as we see many people starting to use a particular API we will have a conversation with that provider and ask them not to frown on our IPs. Scott is going to kick those talks off with some of the big providers, like Twitter, soon.
