You could try software, such as (D)DoS-Deflate or a hardware firewall. In my experience, most hosting companies are more than willing to help you get rid of annoying DDoS attacks, so contact them. You could also try using iptables.
In my opinion every network needs to block traffic from leaving their network with a source IP address that is not on their network. This can prevent their network from being used as the base of attack. If all networks did this, then a DDoS attack could never be initiated.

I think a good firewall or IDS would do the trick. To be honest though I don’t have much experience in mitigating DDoS attacks.

Nice observation but do you have any idea how to stop being attacked by DDoS.Any script that would limit UDP requests from clients or servers?
