We are considering using Prolexic to 'defend' our Internet-facing network from DDOS attacks.  Anyone have any known

you appear to be an ATT customer (and qwest) ATT has a dos-mitigation

guaranteed to be cheaper (in the case of an actual attack) as compared
to prolexic (and closer to your actual website/presence... (since they
have a scrubbing center in stl)
