Not if the dDoS overfloods the TCP Stack - then it doesn't matter if there's a 401 / 200 or whatelse reply - as long as the Webserver replies with something.
About pass protection the forum URL - you can still let some Useragents (Search Engine Bots) bypass the protection with LimitExcept / Limit directives still everyone who knows how to fake a Useragent can bypass the protection as well.
