DDoS protection module suggestion

[Payam Chychi]

Hey,

Instead of a 503, i would redirect them localhost:81 and allow them to 
validly themselves via captcha system in case its a false positive.
Like above, if a host logs the same src_ip more than $x times in $xy 
min, u should be moving the acl up the chain, your sub-distribution, 
distribution cor or even edge routers.

my 2 cents
