I've interviewed a couple of sysadmins that have been hit with DOS and DDOS attacks a couple of times. I've write an article that is available for download here: http://www.varnish-software.com/products-services/whitepapers (please note: registration required). A lot of the time you can get much better results blocking stuff with Varnish because you can block on the HTTP level, so you can block specific user agents, accept-encoding strings or on any combination of headers. -- Per Buer, Varnish Software Phone: +47 21 98 92 61 / Mobile: +47 958 39 117 / Skype: per.buer Varnish makes websites fly!
