DDoS attack against URIBL and Rules site - What can we do?
OK - we need a plan. uribl.org is still down. We need a plan to make
various anti-spam services immune from these kinds of attacks.
So - who has some ideas?

You could check the uribl.com webpage, or www.prolexic.com.
Regardless, they're a company that specializes in DDoS mitigation. Their
website is mostly marketing fluff with little detail, other than to say
their technology is patent-pending. It appears to be largely a setup
where they handle routing for your site on a high-capacity,
highly-peered network and perform DDoS filtering on their end.

They probably have a website. They're one of those fancy Internet
companies.

Well, really this isn't a matter for spamassassin-devel. URIBL has it's
own mailing lists.
That said, uribl.com is back up, and got professional DDOS mitigation
assistance from Prolexic.
