This idea was floated as well, however you still run into the problem whereby someone can simply take out large portions of New Zealands international capacity and if the servers real IP is hidden then the DoS kiddies will simply hit everything they can and the innocent users will suffer.
That would be very difficult to attack,
Not really..
Huh - I was underestimating the scale of the attacks by an order of magnitude or two, then.
Ouch.
I can see why you would get to the stage of simply killing the service altogether.

As Steve well knows, ive sat in on the backend of a few fairly large DoS attacks - and have a good idea what hit auckland* :P Its rather a shame that the server had to go down - It has a large number of fans, myself included - and a lot of us are all looking forward to it coming back.. ... The question is, when? And where? I agree with some of whats been said here to this point - Is there an effective way of limiting its top limit international bandwidth such that the rest of *.nz arent affected? I would think if we could achieve that, we've solved the problem. *hoping* :) Mark. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
