Erm what ? As far as i know, no private firewall is able to stand
against a strong DDOS, and corporate firewalls are only able to
mitigate it, not more.

Huh? A DDoS usually means that someone tries to consume the entire
bandwidth of your uplink. How could any kind of firewall mitigate that?
AFAICS this can only be handled upstream by your provider and his peers.
