Is there a way to avoid miscreants?

Hi,

yesterday I got 124,646 queries in ten minutes, between 1:50 and 2:00 AM UTC, 
from 4,287 different IPs.  The top IP was 
2001:19f0:5401:2e01:5400:3ff:fed1:9863 with 47,304 queries for 5,261 
subdomains, e.g. serverselect.tana.it,  nu.tana.it,  ll.tana.it, 
ghsms.tana.it,  dragoner.tana.it,  cinemathe.tana.it,  bluefire.tana.it, 
umk.tana.it,  tyche.tana.it,  tsvb.tana.it.

When I designed the firewall, I didn't bother monitoring UDP connections to 
port 53.  It seemed to me like named could take care of itself.  However, I 
didn't configure any intrusion prevention features either.  Are there any I 
should enable?


Best
Ale
