    Hello,

    Running Apache 2.4.18 / Linux.

    I recently redirected 301 one page (P1) of my website to P2 (same domain)
    Since then, it occurs that some (about 3%) of my visitors (which ip tells that fact that they are regular users and definitly neither bots nor spammers) all running IE but under different versions (7-9-11) trigger a strange behaviour on my server.
    A/ GET P1 - 301
    B/ GET P2 - 200
    C/ series of GET on all files needed by P2 - All getting a 200 status.
    D/ Flood of GET P2 - 200 (500 requests over 3-5 secs)

    What would you think is happening ?
