Hi Klaus!

 In our case we are affected as we use Pdns + DB backend as backend.

Yep, that's exactly our case as well - our legacy Pdns + mysql backends don't 
handle this very well. Longer term we intend to move away from that, but 
finding some improvements in the meantime for handling these floods would be 
helpful. I'll let you know if we come up with anything interesting!

If you use PDNS make sure to use at least version 4.5 and use 
https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/settings.html#zone-cache-refresh-interval
 and 
https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/settings.html#setting-consistent-backends=yes
 (this saves plenty of DB queries). Further, the DB server must have enough RAM 
to have the database in RAM (i.e. in the linux file buffers).

Further you might be interested in 
https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/47/contributions/1008/ and 
https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/47/contributions/1017/ if you plan to use 
another name server. Another very fresh option would be PDNS + lmdb backend and 
https://doc.powerdns.com/lightningstream/ for replication.

For dnsdist there are probably other guys with more know.

Regards
Klaus
