[Moin-user] Too many clients?

Hi,
while using the MoinMoin Wiki at a classroom, a colleague of mine
encountered a problem. In a computer classroom he asked the students to
look at a certain group of pages (but not yet to edit them!). He said that
a warning message appeared which said that no human individual could read
so many pages in such little time; and that there would be a long lasting
blockade if that would not stop. And so it happened.

Of course, all the computers will have ip-addresses from the same range. Did
that activate a kind of dos attack defense in the wiki? Who knows about
that? Where can this functionality be triggered?
