API Key limit 10k is Per IP Address or Globally?

Question

Getting started FAQ says No Key limit is IP Address based, but it does not say for with API Key.

When I test my API Key from different IP Addresses, I noticed that 10k limit is globally, limit is getting decreased, across different IP Address.

Can I assume that is the correct way? or bug?

Edit: Fixed!

That would have to be a bug if true. It wouldn't make any sense to limit all users of an application from a single pool of calls. — ColinD, May 23 '10 at 05:40
It would only take 34 users to be better off not using a key. o_O — ColinD, May 23 '10 at 16:17

Now, I can confirm that changing my IP Address reset rate-limit to 10000 back.

So, 10k limit is per IP Address, not globally.
