No. They botnets works through multiple regions on multiple cloud providers - that's how they achieve such high throughput. For any single IP address, the load is reasonable, but for the whole botnet it's absurd.

Currently bot traffic accounts for 2/3 of my load, meaning that the cost of providing my service is 3x what it would be without these persistent bots.
