Yes, but wouldnt an automated flood protection script block all the IP's automatically?
Even as new computers are infected, the script will pick them up and ban them too.

I hope the only silver lining to this is what they say "any publicity is good publicity" and after it's sorted awarness of OcUK will be higher and bring in more business for you
somehow i doubt this is as simple as accessing a home router config screen and setting up ddos protection.
e.g my draytek router ddos protection would be crap for the sort of attack we are talking about here.

Depends on whether they have a fully managed solution, otherwise you pretty much just get your IP Address space allocated, connect/peer with the ISP and sort it all out yourself.

Spie and the Dons should "make him an offer he can't refuse" when they find him 
Best of luck getting it sorted!

It was the textual equivalent of me nodding my head in agreement because I don't have a clue what he is talking about

Good luck Spie et all in catching the culprits.
However, I don't think you will and no one will be getting this £10k reward. (That's a damn good incentive though)
All those different IPs attacking the site, you then need to find the related IP between all the attacking clients, if there is indeed an IP to be found. The clients may have had a virus sent to them via email which then caused this.
(I think)
This wont be easy as some major major plod and ISP co-operation is in order.
Ohh and your hosts should have protection against this sort of thing. I suggest you find another host, sharpish.
However. I don't know if it's just me but why is it only during the day that the attacks happen.
It could be someone who has access to tons of PCs during work hours. Though I don't know if that can be done as all those PCs on 1 network should only send out 1 message to OcUK servers which should easily laugh off 1 attack at a time?
No idea tbh..

now with the new this week only offers on tomorrow, wonder if the site will get hammered again?
one thing is its good that spie has confirmed that security will not be effected. hate to see that my stored credit card details were leaked out by the ocuk site.

he did it!!!
Holy **** TLDR TLDR!!!!
Yes, unfortunately to "learn stuff" requires one to "read stuff".
There is no other generally accepted way of getting information into one's brain.
