A couple of readers have written in about the threat of DDOS. One reader asks:
" I always read about large company X was under attack from a DDOS and within a few [hours|days] it was brought under control. My question is, how?"

I would like to start to compile a list of steps to respond to this. So if you have any suggestions send them in I will get a list out over the weekend.

thanks Dan
