My friend:
Potencial atacks a lot!!!!!!!
The better way if using lookit or glokkit, that construct a good iptable firewall FOR YOUR SERVERS!!!!! see the documentation or redhat 9, it's and easy setup
If you want to be more specialize about iptables, read tutorial and manuals, is not all there but you can do a lot with that information
Then, learne about the DoS attacks and with your knowledge about iptables you can understand how the atacks works, how can i construct and iptable and setup a good firewall
Another way can very very difficult without knowledge of the iptables
