What we are using is matching of a specific community on all of our edge 
routers. A route matching this specific community will be blackholed on the 
edge. All that is then needed is by our NOC or one of our customers to 
announce the host under attack as a /32 with the right community and they 
will not suffer under the attack. Problem then is to get the router to drop 
all the packets....
