Honeypot statistics

Author: A.Timmer (25 Oct 06 5:34am)

Just curious: I noticed a robot with IP 207.226.172.18 visited my site, and my Honeypot, on October 22. This IP belongs to a robot that's known in your database.

I also noticed my statistics on the Honeypot site haven't changed since then.
So I wonder: are the stats here not in real time and if not how often are they updated?

Oooh, I'm bad at explaining things...

The system caches a few addresses to give out on your honeypot, so a new one doesn't have to be generated on every single hit. When you run out of cached addresses, the stats are updated and a batch of new addresses are generated.
