From: "Gethinj" <gethinj () gethin net> To be honest lots of firewalls are able to withstand a DDOS attack, they
drop the connections, in my book that's withstanding an attack. If the internet pipe fills up, it doesn't stop the >firewall doing it's job :-) just stops internet access, when the attack has finished your network still works :-) Assuming your network doesn't require access to other networks outside the lan, the internet, serve out any websites and you don't need email, then that's fine. Good old firewall ;) Otherwise, and in most cases I would think, you're pretty screwed, firewall can't help except in logging the IP's of the attacking zombie's.
