I purchased a Linksys Etherfast router (4 port), nice little job.. even comes
with a DMZ port, which forwards  to another router which tosses requests to
whatever machine is designated to handle them. I spent a few days tightening up
my linux kits.. and the apache server. Seems it was an input buffer problem.
That router has built in DoS protection as well as extensive logging abilities.

You just GOTTA love those script kiddies. BTW, I have the source for that
slapper variant if anyone is interested in seeing it. The code is sloppy, but
the deployment macros are.. educational to anyone "rolling out" a linux kit as
a server. 

Wow.. its almost 2003.. and I'm still posting on a board :)
