Mojang Rate limits my joins [450 players per 5 seconds]

Hey,

Anytime I restart my server, about 450 people flood connect to join the server and mojang always closes all existing connections to my server and replies with this error.

It's really annoying b/c I cannot open my server without manually rate limiting my server on a DNS level.

Any solutions? I cannot help the insane rate limit...

Here is the error:


Thanks!
