To prevent SYN flood attacks, your best bet is to use "TCP Intercept", in which the router intercepts all SYN packets and responds for the server, and only if the 3-way handshake is completed does it then complete the connection with the internal server.

You can read all about it here: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/secur_c/scprt3/scddenl.htm
