My methodology is simple, analyze and ban :)

First Part
 + Baseline = Identifying the anomalies
     * Using latency monitor .
        -> smokeping, In-house scripts instead of dig I prefer using Net::DNS 
for the customizable outout, etc... .
     * Ratio of dns-query/dns-response (in/out  mbps) 
        -> roughly in/out traffic in my cases are 1/4
     * Ascii/RRD like graphs :), same as the above case, but just looking the 
behavior of the traffic picture.

 + Random auditing,  packet sampling in a limited time frame. It is best suited 
for if you have got a lot of dns-servers and want to identify if there is an 
amplification attack present or not. 
       -> tcpdump + grep/sed/awk + "wc -l" or dnstop :) ,etc.. 
Last Part
    +Banning traffic :   Signature of the packet (dns-type + dns query) then 
importing  them to  firewall

Subject: [dns-operations] DNS ANY record queries - Reflection Attacks
 

Hi All,

We run a bunch of authoritative servers and have recently observed activity 
best described in a post we found here: 
https://isc.sans.edu/diary/DNS+ANY+Request+Cannon+-+Need+More+Packets/13261

Using the iptables rules posted as a comment by Network Mouse (in the above 
post), we've been able to reduce the amount of junk being sent to the target 
host. Most of the target hosts seem to be in Asia, just like those mentioned in 
the Sans post. 

The question I have for you all is: Is this something affecting other 
operators? How have you been dealing with it? 

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

-Rob
