Slow-read DOS

["HOGGATT, ANDY F." <hoggatta () OTC EDU>]

Greetings all,

We have been experiencing DOS issues today relating to the "slow http" method (see article below).  Has anyone else 
been experiencing these attacks or have any knowledge, or experience on defending against these?  They seem to be very 
sporadic.  The access logs have the following entry in the HTTP header :

"FAKEVERB / HTTP/1.1" 301 227 http://code.google.com/p/slowhttptest/

Feel free to email me directly, if you'd prefer.

Thank you,
