wiki.ros.org returns 403s randomly

It seems like the wiki.ros.org website currently has one or more broken backends.
the load balancer will periodically send my requests to the broken backend, resultng in a 403. If I refresh a few times and don’t get a 403, and have dev tools open, then some of the other requests (for css, js, etc.) will fail with a 403.

I think it’s the other way around that you’re getting caught by our hosting’s rate limiting which is attempting to prevent the site from getting knocked over by abusive crawlers.
