I don’t think this is the best strategy for the botnet. Rather than pool all
their resources to solve a single puzzle (bitcoin-style), wouldn’t it be better
for each node to act like a legitimate client and solve its own puzzle in
however long it takes?

Yoav, I don't see your point. Suppose I have a 1,000 node botnet, and
only 100 of them are currently busy with a DoS attack on Yoav's favorite
gateway. The other 900 nodes are idling, waiting for the next batch of
spam to arrive. Why not use them to compute hashes so that I can create
10X as many half-open SAs?
Thanks,
Yaron
