Smurfing is when you send echo requests
to a broadcasting domain with a fake IP (target hosts).
Then all the machines will answer with repley to
the target. If you have a couple of broadcating domains to
send to the bandwidth will get very high for the target machine
and you have a successfull dos attack.
And Tim, I would find a more "custom friendly" ISP ;o, if I were you.
