Hi!

Well, I do not know IIS, but on Apache tehere are a couple of options which 
can help preventing from DDOS attacks. Here are a buch of examples:
-  KeepAlive
-  MaxKeepAliveRequests
-  KeepAliveTimeout
-  ...

I will not say you will or will not, I think you can just HELP PREVENTING!

What kind of http server do you have?
