How do you know it is just some kid?

It sounds like your enemy has made a script which always monitors which IP your domain is hosted at, and then he either automatically or manually enters that IP into some botnet command tool which he has access to.

You should probably identify which hostname he is monitoring, and then move that problematic hostname away from your main server. Isolate the troubled hostname, move it far away from your important stuff. Now you have "mitigated" the DDOS to somewhere else.

Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing?
