I have been up to my ears in UDP-TCP-ACK-SYN Attacks for a couple of weeks
now. And IP Lists are useless when the attacker base exceeds that of the
router's memory, therefore I agree.

Paul Vixie stated earlier that there were/are some "short on work" Cisco
BGP/Router Engineers here or around this channel. If that is in-fact the
case then I could use some paid help and welcome anyone that wants to strike
out on their own and hang up their own shingle.
