We are hitting 130+ spots a minute sometimes. They seem to come in bursts.

Those spots that are marked as DUMPED in my system. Do I pass them on to other nodes, or 
do they stop rheir journey here. I am sure that my users dont get them, which is good.

Just wonder what happens to them. I am running "DXSpider v1.57 build 568
