GSLB or whatever we want to call it is extremely useful from a general availability standpoint; however, the attackers can always scale up and really distribute their already-DDoS even further (they learned about routeservers and DNS tinkering years ago).  

Architecture, visibility, and control are key, as are vendor/customer/peer/upstream/opsec community relationships.
