Scott, as you broght it up, can any one recommend a good book DoS
attacks and perhaps a good bone up on Network Security in general?

It's kind of like saying "How do I protect myself from being robbed?"
There is no guaranteed way of fully protecting yourself. You have to
determine how much protection you feel that you need, based on the
damage that could be done, and the cost of the protection.
A hardware firewall would likely be able to protect or alert you to a
lot of attacks. A "free" option is to make sure you are always up to
date with the latest updates, but this is costly as it is time
consuming, and there aren't updates or patches for some things (such as
bandwidth-based attacks).
You could read a book about DoS attacks, and still not know nearly as
much as you might want.
