Just because they're well known doesn't make them immune to configuration cockups... one solution might be to get your host to firewall all incoming from port 53 except for stuff coming from your hosts' DNS servers (or google's, or whoever) - that won't help if the bandwidth is going to overwhelm your host's core router, but it WILL help in cases where it's flooding out your uplink
