ddos defence?

[Dave Stevens]

I have a vps that has been repeatedly hit with a ddos attack. The ISP  
has given me new IP addresses several times but every time I update  
the DNS records the attack resumes within hours. This is not yet a  
production site but I need it to be, sooner rather than later.

Can anyone suggest reading or strategies for dealing with this?
