if someone actually set their mind to it, i guarantee they could take down a shit ton of sites one at a time for several days at a time.

it will definitely put a hurt in them big time. attack nameservers, individual machines, individual uplink routers themselves, etc.

you will end up hurting more then your intended target though (other users on that host will also be affected)
