|You would have to download the lists quite often to stay |current, and they are rather large. And if the site is being |DDoSed, and it cannot even respond to regular DNS queries, how |are you going to be able to connect to download the updates?
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. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
