  45 What kind of DDos? Mass-Clones joining your network and sending inside
  46 IRC many commands around - or something directly on the machines?
  47
  48 If second, I would agree with Tom Moyer - it's a good idea to run hubs
  49 and especially services on secret IPs - if your ircd may block /stats
  50 for non-opers - you're a winner - if not, you may play around with dns
  51 f.e. services.yournet.tld = 127.0.0.1 for the world - and has the
  52 &quot;correct&quot; DNS-entry only the uplink-ircd (same with
  53 uplink-hub.yournet.tld maybe?) - i've this constellation on several
  54 networks where /stats c is allowed to users...
  55
  56 I know - ddos is a !&quot;$&amp;$&quot;$(( - but one possible solution worth a try is
  57 to move targets out of range, as good as possible...
  58
  59 greets and good luck on fighting ddos
