Why not just setup a simple forward, that way all the traffic that would normally be intended for the windows update site would be diverted to a totally difrent host. See diagram below:
Normal Site 192.168.1.111(window update.com)Setup to save M$ from worm forward Normal Site 192.168.1.111(windows.update.com) -----------------> 192.168.100.225(windows.offsite.update.com)
By using this setup, you can filter everything except http requests. Further more, it'd be relativly simple to setup a rotating pool of difrent forwards to the main site. Meaning every time some one resolved windowsupdate.com the name resolved to a difrent ip address that still forwards to the main site. By using this setup the ddos can be spread out over several forwarding hosts and not even touch the main site.

It does a lookup on "windowsupdate.com"Allowing the option for corporates and/or isp's to dns poison that to resolve to 127.0.0.1, or even dns race with tools like team teso's if one doesn't use internal/cacheing NS. Might save some traffic on 15 August. Alternative, route all traffic to the resolved IP addresses to /dev/null, but with the above, the traffic shouldn't even leave the machine in question. -- Andrew G.
