A bit of perspective on what's going on...
Here's the latest bulletin from the server company, it shows the percentage of packets received by the firewall that are authentic traffic vs those that are dropped as part of the D.O.S. attack :
Total Packets / Percentage
Received 339292163 N/A
Forwarded 11568637 / 3.41%
Replied 238500 / 0.07%
Dropped 327485026 / 96.52%
So we're still under a considerable barrage, but they've got the firewall tweaked to handle it at this point in time. Everything seems to be working normally this morning.
