FreeBSD firewall block syn flood attack

[Ryan James]

Hello,

I current have a FreeBSD 4.8 bridge firewall that sits between 7 servers and
the internet. The servers are being attacked with syn floods and go down
multiple times a day.

The 7 servers belong to a client, who runs redhat.

I am trying to find a way to do some kind of syn flood protection inside the
firewall. 


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
