Lemme do same diet-quoting here.

You are right, of course. The thing I'm attempting is to make them hit my traps faster, so I can react faster. And, as I said, I don't think we should use the same method everywhere. Sametime I use DROP, sometimes I use tcp-reset and sometimes, icmp-replies.

As far as I got from this discussion, every method is about as good as the other. All have advantages and problems. The real question is how to balance them all to have the most benefits of each one of them. Care to comment on this one ?
