Syn floods and DOS protection

["Alex Kramarov" <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have read the docs, and i saw that all the security and dos protection
features in LVS are aimed at protecting the director. the setup assumes that
the real servers can take care for themselvs, either by using syncookies or
by some other means. is there a solution for real servers that do not
implement syncookies ? On some of my servers i am stack with w2k. I know
there is a syncookies firewall for kernel 2.2, but i am using 2.4 ...

Thank you.
