I assume those 150k ips you ban is automatic with your ls settings?
I probably know what you're going to say about trying to slow them down but I'm down to listen.

yea even if you just load media from another server, you'll take a lot of load off the main server. if you have mysql running, it doesn't hurt to get that to its own server. after that, you just have to optimize code so an attack isn't taking too much pipe.
this is the setup of my whole network. front-end servers, media servers, db servers, download servers, video conversion servers, and a couple monitoring servers (62 total). we get slammed daily by attacks and the sites don't feel it.
