Can you clarify what happened in those 2 hours, exactly?
If you mean it took 2 hours of running a single test for performance to
collapse, I'm not sure this means anything. 2 hours of continuous
pounding may not be representative of how your application will actually
be used. If there will be lulls and your test doesn't include lulls to
give the system time to do periodic cleanups that let it withstand the
next round of pounding, all you're testing here is what will happen when
someone tries to DoS the system.
If instead you mean it took you 2 hours of trying before you found a
test that would kill the box, what was the test, and is it
representative of actual load conditions? Again, if not, all you've
done is found a DoS test case, not something that requires
rearchitecting everything.
