Yep, if you are in the business of:

(1)	selling firewalls;

Good idea.

However, puttin up 'yet another firewall' is 'not elegant', IMO.

The point to understand is the following....

All the 'ideas and solutions' of the past few
days show just how much developers and hackers can rise
to a challenge AND...

Do not go out a buy a 'SYNDefender' just yet,  because,
as mentioned, the SYN problem is solvable in the TCP/IP 
code.

It is just a matter of time.....
