Oh, and of course, the problem of preventing ALL DoS attacks was explored a LONG
time ago:

A.M. Turing "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entschiedungsproblem"
    Proc. of the London Math. Soc., Ser 2, Vol. 42, pp. 230-265, 1936-37.

Causing an infinite loop is a DoS in my book ;)
