What is the best web host to deal with DDOS attacks and blocking them?
Reverse Proxies are good at removing CPU load out of repetitive tasks, but this is more likely a "traffic spike" or a slashdot rather than a DDoS.
True DDoS protection is done at the perimeter network, where you filter out all of the "bad data" such as Fragmented Packets, SYN Floods, Bad IP Checksums, Malformed Packets etc, this way only the "good traffic" that "follows all the rules" gets through to the Reverse Proxies, that can take care of the heavy lifting.
