Yesterday I did one thing which I'm proud of, but which was a logical step in closing the circle; what happen when I change my DNS to btcguild servers? At this time, me and deepbit were completely off, but btcguild had even higher hashrate (probably thanks to failover configurations in miners). So I modify DNS records and point everything to btcguild.com. I had 5minutes DNS timeouts, so there was an easy way how to revert this traffic back from btcguild.
As I expected, nothing happen. I leaved DNS to btcguild over a half of hour, which was many times longer than botnet need to switch to new IP address before. And btcguild was still untouched.

WOW....
So what you have done is basically re-wrote the 'book' on DDoS attacks and how to 'DEAL' with them.
So now every time a Pool operator is pissed off and under attack, he can 'SPREAD THE WEALTH' among other pools to have them suffer the same fate ?
LAME. Sour Grapes is all that is.....
