	Ummmm.... A cache layer for any web application is a must have, perhaps he could have avoided the attack all along if it were present on the system since day one?... At least for this kind of attack, a more serious DDoS won't be tamed by "just adding cache"

Well, when your DDOS is '10 requests a second', your site is probably not the most sophisticated.

Haha, true! But please share your personal DDoS experience is mine is not large enough :p

Oh goodness, I would, but I would need to talk to my employer. I work for a CDN, so our DDOS experience is very different :)

I also hope I didn't sound too insulting. I know keeping any site up against DDOS is hard!

No it's ok! Thank you ;-)
