I have no idea. An option would be to use private managed links, but that would cost about 100 times as much, and I would not be able to administer the machines via the internet.
With programs that scan and probe the internet, widely available for every script-kiddies entertainment, I believe this is, as I said, a standard characteristic of the internet, and I must live with it. Had this been an actual DOS attack on my client, rather than the normal, random attention from said script-kiddies, reducing TCP_RTO_MAX would not have helped.
