My walls are biter-proof unless they are supposed to evolve any more and could probably create an attacks per minute metric. The double-cross pattern that I am almost finished implementing for the outer wall seems to break their logic enough to minimize damage and gives the flame throwers more time to work.

Honestly, I just ignore pollution and all of the attacks. I just assumed I was eventually supposed to be fully enclosed by biter nests.

Depending on what you are using for your wall defence a large or behemoth spitter might out range it

I just checked and behemoths can't reach it to make significant damage. It seems like overkill, but I have repeating blocks of three guns, four laser turrets and 4 flame throwers. Each set of guns is fed with a requestor chest for ammo and each subsection is in range of my bots for repair. Just the wall itself is 6 tiles deep, 2 tiles deep for a plain wall and 4 for "standoffs". It's been impenetrable so far.

That does seem like a solid defense.
