DDoS = multiple IPs

DoS = single IP

It seems most people colloquially use DDoS for both, and reserve DoS for 
magic-packet blocking exploits like the latest BIND CVE, FYI.

Given how easy it still is to put a fake source address in an IP
packet, it seems optimistic to assume that just because the packets
all have the same return address, they're actually coming from the
same place.
