but it seems to me that the best defence is to stop DDOS attacks at a
network level, using routers and firewalls

No argument, but it depend on the DDOS attack. Fair enough, 50K people
doing 1/2 opens should be noticed by a _good_ firewall (how many have
_good_ firewalls?) but what about 50K people issuing valid HTTP requests
for http://yoursite/fakefile.jsp? Harder to see. Point is, we can come
up with a response to anything they throw at us (probably), but they
have to throw it first. Do _you_ want to be the one that says "Gee
sorry, we didn't think of that"
