RE: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <Art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it shuts down the HTTP server, and your Amazon.com, your shut down.  Period. 
 Other AS/400 jobs
are probably still not running very quickly, until you end the HTTP server.

Doesn't the HTTP server run at normal interactive job priority 20?  If it does, 
it would be just
like any other runaway interactive job.  It would bog everyone down.  Of 
course, then the CFINT
governor would come in....

It was also my understanding that the servers didn't crash, they just couldn't 
respond to all of the
requests.  So MOST people got server unavailable while the server dutifully 
tried to fill all of the
other bogus requests.
