Also, have you heared about CloudFlare? Is it relevant to our case?
Yes, they are a well known anti-DOS service.
Does their service work well with poker mavens?
I read on their website that they don't normally support websockets but their enterprise version. Poker mavens uses websockets, right?
Moreover, Since they route the packets to the server, I assume that the received packet is received from their IP and not the real IP of the client. More than that,
everybody are going to have the same IP address. Am I wrong?

You definitely need a service that supports websocket connections. Poker Mavens has a "Proxy IP header" setting so if you get your proxy service to include a header with the user's actual IP address then you can still enforce the no duplicate IP feature. I don't know what CloudFlare's capabilities are, however, in regards to either of those things.

You would likely need a dedicated server with fast, multi-core CPU, lots of memory, and a gigabit internet connection. You might be able to get around 500 connections that way. Otherwise, you would need to split your site across multiple servers with additional licenses and some kind of central login system (that you would need to code yourself).
