I'm running locust load test against my server, which has Cloudflare limit of 250 requests per second per IP (user). And I'm hitting that limit with following locust config:

  • Users: 100
  • RPS is around 100

So, the question arises here is:

Does Locust make use of IP spoofing to bypass the DNS limitations?

No, it does not.

But if you actually meant to ask "Could Locust make use of IP spoofing?" the answer is yes, see https://github.com/locustio/locust/issues/376

Regarding your actual core problem (DNS limits), there should be better solutions though. Check out https://github.com/locustio/locust/issues/1614 (although the user who filed that didnt seem to get my proposed solution to work...)
