The problem with DDoS attacks is that if it GETS to the server, its going to do the damage regardless of whether the server rejects it or not.

The host/carriers need to attempt to stop it.

Isn't there front-end hardware (or I suppose software) that will help block this stuff? In other words, there is the ability to block the stuff (i.e. repeated spam attacks, etc.) *before* it gets to the server, but without having to have the ISP/host/carriers do it - true?
