Theoretcial Suggestion.

I obviously don't know if this would work or not, hence the title,
and I'll do my best to describe the idea behind it.

It may kind of relate to a botnet concept, but I don't know.

The idea could be described as a 'ProtectionNet' or something like that.

The purpose of it, being that if some clever coding dude, could maybe write some software, if it's possible that is, and when installed, this software could maybe
dedicate a certain amount of your system resources, to, for example, help protect a site such as this, from a DDoS attack. Like a combined type of NetShield,
although that word does Google, but something like that.

Like I say, I don't know if this is possible or not, but maybe with some clever type of filtration system in the software, maybe the source of the
attack, could possibly be re-directed through a series of virtual tunnels, if that is possible, to wherever, or maybe even re-directed back at the source of the attack.

Having said that, I'm sure that many members, myself included, would be happy to reserve a certain amount of system resources, dedicated to the
protection of SF and am wondering if such a concept is at all possible?
