            1/ Do not run public DNS server.
            2/ Get a DNS server that can do rate limiting.

              and Maximum state entries this rule can create Maximum number of unique source hosts and Maximum number of established connections per host and Maximum state entries per host are in seconds ?
              for example when i 500 for Maximum number of unique source hosts when some one in my network have more than 500 unique host how much he/she should wait for remove this?
