I've seen what the public crest rate limit is, 30/s with 100/s burst., but I can not find any information on the auth crest rate limit other than it is "substantially higher". So what is the "substantially higher" rate limit?

We are currently looking into accessing market data for our site and we would like design our system to stay well within the limits all things considered with all 11k+ items and numerous regions.

CCP is not saying what it is so I don't think you'll get any more answer then you have. Chance are you won't exceed it as long as you take care in write your app. Main thing is to obey any cache times you get and understand that just like with XML API using multiple 'tokens' for the same account doesn't increase how often the data is refreshed in any way but they just end up stepping on each other. For example having a CEO and a director 'token' from the corporation won't get more information. The first one to call the endpoint gets the data and the other one just gets the already cached data until the cache time expires.

Also it's per endpoint not per IP as I understand it as well so except if you really have a huge number of accounts using you app or you have a bug that causes runaway calls chances are low that you'll have any problems. Do make sure you include enough info in the app headers so CCP can contact you if they see a problem or need to contact you for any reason.
