Is there a way to configure nginx not to block request from a specific IP address?

thanks,
my bad, it is because I did not change the net bind parameter in windows regedit,( I connect to a linux virtual machine from my windows machine). and it works now, all request could be responsed.
but I found another question is that when I put about 50000 static files(all files are less than 1k bytes) under the linux machine folder, I can run at about 240 requests per second, but after I put 1 million files under that folder and still I run the same loops, I can only run at 95 request per second, why does that happen? is there something specific I need to set in nginx or I need to change some settings in the linux envrioment?(my test linux machine system: ubuntu LTS 8.04 on vmware single processor, p4 2.8g, 7200rpm, a normal machine, the ulimit -n is 1024)
