Dear Folks,

Our DNS caches are subject to a massive load of queries which resulted
initially in SERVFAIL.  The pattern is a parent DNS domain, with
queries for tens of thousands of apparently randomly generated
subdomains all initially resulting in SERVFAIL.

I have written code to analyse the query-errors log to detect these
patterns and blackhole the entire domain automatically.  I can tidy
the code up and make it freely available if there is sufficient
interest.

However, there are some legitimate DNS domains under which these
malicious subdomains appear.  Recent occurrences have been
www.appledaily.com.tw, and www.popvote.hk.  These attacks under those
domains are ongoing.

We are using BIND 9.8.  Can anyone suggest a good scalable method of
allowing queries to a parent domain, but blocking all queries to all
its subdomains?

I disclaim, therefore I am.
