|You would have to download the lists quite often to stay

Diffs could be transmitted through un-published channels to a collection
of distributed source servers (even via near-anonymous dial-up as a
backup). Those servers would participate in a collaborative network of
replication nodes. Special client software would chose from a dynamic
list of available peers for updates. The peer list would be constantly
changing and no single node would contain more than a fraction of the
list.

Essentially, the power of a DDoS attack is that of focusing a large
number of small sources on a single point. If you eliminate the single
point through the use of a distributed network of peers - then the focus
of a DDoS dissapears and it's power is disipated.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's time to leverage the power
of the network agianst abuse on that same network.
