[Opensim-users] about OpenSim GRID security.

[R.Gunther]

DDos have nothing todo with ports or services. DDos is very hard to defend.
You just get so much traffic that the server / services get overloaded 
and stop working correctly.
Only way to defend against Dos is sofar i knows blocking IP (ranges) 
with the risk you block customers to.
