It was thus said that the Great Nerius Landys once stated: > > I'm wondering what methods are preferred for preventing this sort of > attack.

I've had experience with that type of thing several years ago: http://boston.conman.org/2003/12/17.1 http://boston.conman.org/2004/01/04.2 But I haven't experienced such an attack in the past six years, so I don't think they're all that common (at least, if there isn't a reason to attack your site or server). Also, if you are concerned about handling TCP traffic, you should read: http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html which gives a lot of helpful advice for handling large amounts of TCP traffic. -spc --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
