The only way your firewall can help at all, is if it contains some stateful deep packet inspection algorithms. You also need some FWLB (Firewall Load Balancers) to handle the processing.

Typically, DDOS against a host involve proper packets; just lots of them to fill up the pipe.

The only true protection would be more bandwidth than they can muster.

Which is why I have 6 OC-48's. :)
