Well, I actually meant "along with". Not as the single layer of protection (:
I neglected to mention- but indirectly implied that unless you change TIME_WAIT, you're still going to have those idling until the stack closes the connections, so for most purposes, it's basically useless, with the overhead of running a shell script managing all of this.. which will not help when you have a high load. You really want to use iptables/ipf/pf/et al to limit connections.
