Upon activation, a Prolexic customer routes in-bound traffic to the nearest Prolexic scrubbing center where proprietary-filtering techniques, advanced routing, and patent-pending hardware devices remove bot traffic close to the source." You may want to ask them how near is "nearest" before you proceed. If their sensor is too far from your systems, simply sending all that traffic to the scrubbing center could be overkill. The last phrase suggests they use sink holing, though. -- PacketDam: a cost-effective software solution against DDoS http://www.packetdam.com
