Like Anti-Virus its a protection against yesterday's threat as morning_wood say heh
That will not work very effectivly against this type of attack. There are tools you can use (and quite a good module for apache) which can be used to limit the number of connections from particular clients. However if you set the limit too low you block people coming in via the big proxy servers. If you set the limit too high then the maximum number of connections can be reached with a relativly small number of machines. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
