Setting this up is pretty easy, I mean all you need to do is have MySQLd running on another box and reconfigure your website to connect to the new server, I never looked into how the whole image server thing works for HF, but I imagine Omni just changed the theme images directory, and possibly modified some MyBB code and got remote avatar uploads working, or he's using a NFS mount or something...who knows lol.
Back on topic, to my knowledge it's impossible to fully migrate a DDoS attack using _just_ a script, the most you can do is make the services that the packets are trying to hit ignore the packets, the most this will do is
1) lower server load (no processing of the packets)
2) save bandwidth (if the service tries to reply to the packets [http.etc])
Sure this sounds good, but the packets will still be going down the pipe and clogging stuff up, the most effective way is 'migrating' the attack using a dedicated firewall.etc
