Are you getting lots and lots of submissions with one identical popcon ID,
or lots of cases of 10-20 systems duplicating different popcon IDs? I
think those lead to different conclusions.
If it's the second, I agree with the suggestion of cloned VMs. Containers
are making this a bit less common, but building out a system and then
cloning it repeatedly used to be the most common way of scaling a web
service in environments such as AWS.
