ICMP Filters

I am looking for the types of ICMP to filter in order
to eliminate ping and traceroute from the Internet. I
want to continue to ping and traceroute outbound. I
have read several of the archives and seen several
messages about filtered ICMP causing path MTU to not
function. I have several web servers and mail servers
behind the filter router. I don't want to cause any
problems with the performance of these services. Also,
by filtering these will I eliminate PingFlood attacks?

Thanks...
