Do we know that p1999 is even the target? A DDOS attack could cause congestion on a network segment that just happens to be shared with the true target which effectively denies service to EVERYONE who shares that segment. If it is truely targeted at p1999 servers many times these attacks are sourced from a single (or maybe a few regions) such as China. You could mitigate the effectiveness of the attack by blocking traffic to IP ranges used in these regions. In fact if the server is hosted somewhere I'm sure the staff of the facility would love to help push these DOS traffic out and would love to help.
