If they have 10k URLs and in parallel find out all links via different IPs, they get new links.

When they do that again with the new links, there is no connection between visits, because the IPs differ. It looks like someone else is requesting what is behind the link.

If they have 10K IPs, then you need a DDOS filter, which would require a huge infrastructure no matter what.
