A proxy server would be better suited for public access to something on an internal network. The DDOS would just bury the proxy server.

making external users VPN to your inside network and not
expose the web server to the internet at all.
Well, at least you're thinking in terms of using network services to prevent DDOS attacks rather than distributed application architecture. It seems that a VPN might work with employees and trusted business partners, but it doesn't sound very practical to me for student access to campus resources, because of added administrative costs.
