Each visitor has a bucket of 60 requests they can fire against the server (defined by `visitor-request-limit-burst`).
After the 60, new requests will encounter a `429 Too Many Requests` response. The visitor request bucket is refilled at a rate of one
request every 10s (defined by `visitor-request-limit-replenish`)
request every 5s (defined by `visitor-request-limit-replenish`)
* `visitor-request-limit-burst` is the initial bucket of requests each visitor has. This defaults to 60.
* `visitor-request-limit-replenish` is the rate at which the bucket is refilled (one request per x). Defaults to 10s.
* `visitor-request-limit-replenish` is the rate at which the bucket is refilled (one request per x). Defaults to 5s.
* `visitor-request-limit-exempt-hosts` is a comma-separated list of hostnames and IPs to be exempt from request rate
limiting; hostnames are resolved at the time the server is started. Defaults to an empty list.
