I know for a fact there is very little that can be done about an attack of this scale.
The usual outcome is that the attacker gets bored and stops, or he has another need for his bots and pulls them off the attack.

For those of you that have never heard of or seen a botnet in action, this is a screenie of a small one in action. Notice the owner give the command, and then they jump on it ...
pic is rather large, let it load.
