Hi,

I'm working on rate limiting for specific group of client ids where if the client id is equal to XYZ don't map it, thus, the zone doesn't get incremented.

For ex -
limit_req_zone $default_rate_client_id zone=globalClientRateLimit_zone:50k rate=10r/m sync;
map $client_id $default_rate_client_id {
"^(?!ZZZZZZ)$" "$1"
}

But this doesn't seem to work. Is this the correct way to negate a particular string(ZZZZZ in this example)? Please let me know.

Thanks!
