So if I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying that no matter how much infrastructure you have to potentially absorb the problem, there is nothing you can do because the bad guys are always going to have more bandwidth at their disposal. Man, that's a pretty bad position to be in for a vendor who's fundamental premise is to sell boxes to deal with these sorts of problems. ;)
