I’m not talking about those crappy software-based firewalls, I’m talking on REAL firewalls.

Like http://www.sonicwall.com

But if you want to go cheap, you can build one with Linux and using http://www.smoothwall.org

Not many ISPs are able to do this effectively.

Another technique is to have multiple circuits, multi-home your public servers and use DNS to spread the load. However, a coordinated DoS will kill that too. So you need mirrored sites too. And this all gets expensive.

The best way is to find the people committing the DoS and LART them.

It’s probably just some kids that got some beef with ya for a reason nobody knows probably. You’ll have to wait 3 or 4 years til those kiddies can get a job.

A measly firewall will not protect you from much at all.

You’ll never have this problem again, simple like that!
