That won't have helped with this server, the mod is very tiny and then must compete against large attacks...

Eh?
You need to bring about layers of security. First off you should have a hardware firewall such as a Cisco ASA. Then you should get a proxy firewall such as mod_security, follow up with htaccess protection and then FF will handle the stragglers. FF can then ban the low levels for an hour at a time as their ip's change and they come back just to get banned again. Finally they go elsewhere... If you are getting hit super hard. Turn cache on and logging off after you complete the test run, for extra speed.
My site was attacked with DOS attacks for months. I tried many things (which are still in place). They always came back and took down my site with DOS. Say what you will but after I finished FF, the attacks failed and my bandwidth dropped like a rock.

Yes but this already has been mentioned before, a modification will not work.
CoreISP:
mod_security? No thank you.
As already explained on multiple occasions, these attacks are not picked up by our hardware firewall. They are legitimate traffic, low-level plus it is not in full related to the login attacks as many people seem to think.
