Seriously a SYN flood? How 90's.

Side affect of running on AWS, you can't use a "real" firewall.

Even then don't they use ha-proxy up front? I'm surprised this was an issue.

HA Proxy isn't going to protect their pipe from congestion. Null routing the ip that's getting flooded will.

Until someone builds an attack suite that re-resolves the names in the middle of the attack.
