This won't do any good if this is a DDoS.  The bottleneck being filled up
with traffic isn't the 10 or 100 Mbps connection inside the firewall, it's
the WAN link to the internet.  Even if the traffic is stopped entirely at
the firewall, the pipe in from the ISP is so full during a DDoS that it
doesn't matter.  It's like having a receptionist at the front desk of a
company on the 7th floor keeping all of the weirdos from entering the back
offices, but there are so many whackos coming into the building and up the
elevator that nobody else can even make it in the front door.
