A NAT router helps prevent DoS attacks by not forwarding unsolicited
requests to the network. Also, if a NAT router has SPI, then that as well
will prevent a DoS attack as I understand it.
If a Web server went down due to a DoS attack, then the server was being
exposed in the DMZ or port forwarding was being done from a router or FW
appliance to the Web server I would think.
