I respectfully disagree. Network engineers have to keep up with many tasks and preventing DoS/DDoS should be the responsibility of everyone. I see more folks worried about spam than they are actual security.

Back to my original question: is there really not a better solution?

This sounds a lot like the conversations which led to the creation of the original Realtime Blackhole List of spam sources. When was that, 1996?

Perhaps the time has come for a BGP blackhole list like the bogon routes one. Who wants to become a target? ;) ~Seth
