No.  I was thinking more of a smart porcupine with attitude.  At least use the 
IDS to notify the system

used to notify the system administrator.

But the vision I have is of an integrated DNS - IDS - Firewall solution with an 
appropriate rules base for known
attack vectors.

Okay. So now an attack is going on, and your pager told you. What are you going 
to do?

1) nothing
2) clean the cache every 5 minutes hoping the race won't do damage in between 
cleanups
3) drop all incoming DNS packets for the spoofed domain, effectively DOS'ing 
the domain under attack
4) enable DNSSEC to deal with the situation
