iptables drop or reject



Hi,

	I'm curious whether using drop or reject as an iptables
target would deal better with traffic from worms like msblast.  I 
thought perhaps the scans were bogging down my box at home, although 
it looks like rcn must have had some kind of problem which they 
recently fixed, which may or may not have been related to the worm.
Still, it made me wonder.
