It really depends on the attack, a direct packet attack would not be prevented by what your talking about.
Also while you can migrate some of the headache of a DDos attack at the box it in most cases doesn't prevent the large use of bandwidth which is what a host shuts you down for. What jquery should look into is setting up a system of official "mirrors". It would save them bandwidth because the smarter ones of us would bookmark the closer/faster mirror to us and provide fail over locations incase of a major failure.
