Re: Solutions for DoS & DDoS

[Erol Blakely <erol () easydns com>]

My experience with most providers has been that null routing is the 
"industry standard" when a DDoS hits their network.

I would suggest approaching companies who specialize in DDoS mitigation 
- Prolexic and Blacklotus to name two I am familiar with. These outfits 
may have something that works for a non-profit from a pricing point of 
view.

Ping me off list, I deal with a few providers and may be able to point 
you in the right direction.
