[bf1942] DoS against port 29900

[Steven Hartland]

Yep we made EA aware of this issue a two weeks ago. ATM they dont
seem to be taking it seriously. Looks like that's a light one we had 150Mb
DDoS's for a number of days. Had to null route an entire /16 to ensure
the DoS didn't reach its intended target.
