Vern tested several other approaches. Random Drop wins.
Understood.
But....
I suspect that if the network interface is fast enough compared to
the processor speed, the machine will wedge when subjected to a fire-hose
of even good requests.
Not really. I can attack the servers with 'a fire hose' and the
DoS attack 'works' but the server runs. I think it is just a problem
with the way I installed the patchs.
I'm working it now.
Thanks again,
