DoS on root nameservers (posted 2002-10-31)

I'm a bit behind on the news. The most important IDR news is that of the DoS-attacks on the root nameservers on October 21st. (There will be more on this in the tech list news soon.) By some strange coincedence, I had just put a page outlining anti-denial-of-service measures up on this site. I've been working on this since before the summer, but I hadn't yet really published the story on this site since I was considering publishing it somewhere else and I have been unable to test how good it works.
