To be more specific:
http://www.google.com/recaptcha/faqcontains the following:
Question:
Does reCAPTCHA have the capacity to accommodate large amounts of traffic?
Answer: Definitely. reCAPTCHA has distributed locations and multiple servers. The only thing we ask is to be
contacted
beforehand if you expect your site to constantly need more than 1
million reCAPTCHAs solved per day. reCAPTCHA is used by many large sites
— we display over 100 million CAPTCHAs every day.
The word "contacted" is a link to the
http://www.google.com/recaptcha/contact page which only provides links to this forum, the FAQ page and a press inquiries page. There is no way to contact. How/who would I contact if I expected to exceed 1 million reCAPTCHAs solver per day ?
