reverse firewall
does he mean this?

"Conventional thinking supposes firewalls are meant to protect an enterprise from the outside world. But can that firewall protect your company from being used in a distributed denial-of-service attack?

Los Angeles-based Cs3 is offering a Reverse Firewall, which monitors outgoing data so a company's systems cannot be used in a DDoS attack. Cs3 is offering their software pre-loaded and pre-configured on a Linux server for $3,995.

Cs3's reverse firewall monitors the packages of data leaving the system, said Cs3's co-founder and CTO K. Narayanaswamy. The product uses a patent-pending technique of "fair service scheduling" that monitors outgoing packets based on where they come from inside the network. If a high number of "unexpected" packages come from within the network, a potential signal of an attack, then the firewall can notify the network administrator of it.

The Reverse Firewall also makes sure a user's network isn't buggered up during a DDoS attack."
