It would help if you'd take the time to write in coherent sentences. I have trouble working out what you're trying to say. It seems like you're saying "if somebody sends some traffic to you, that's a DDOS", which it isn't: that's just the internet, working normally.

It's still traffic either way. What's the difference?

Um... really? I don't. Where would the firewall be, and what connections would it prevent?

Why does the reason matter? The question I asked was how to set up port forwarding to do it.

The reason matters becuase it wouldnt be done, you would have an IP address for each DNS server. Then you would forward
