Maybe a few of us can all host a mirror, and just use round-robin DNS to balance the requests among all of us..
Good idea. However, it's going to hurt more of one web server is out of action, than if a DNS server is out of the loop. Limiting the number of hosts in a RR DNS for web is always a good idea :-)
DDoS'ing one site is one thing, but when you have to launch a DDoS against 10-15 mirrors you tend to attract some attention (and it spreads the zombie "troops" a bit thin)..
Right. I'd trade being able to move the site from A to B quickly, rather than having lots of active sites around the Internet. Of course, a lot depends upon the type of DoS attack experienced, and how it can be filtered effectivly upstream of the hosting service.
