Let's be specific - are you saying the root server for your name space
(e.g., the .com root servers) point to YOUR name servers as the
authoritative servers for these domains?

If so, you can try contacting the customer service of the domain registrar
who maintains these root entries. May be you can prove that this IP address
is YOUR address space and that the IP WHOIS shows YOU as the administrator
of that IP space and that you are formally notifying you of an ongoing DOS
attack, which they are enabling by the use of the malicious NS record for
that domain. Once they have been notified of a DOS, they may now be liable
for not taking appropriate action and thus may have a procedure in place to
alter the NS record.

Otherwise try contacting ICANN to see if they can suggest what recourse you
may have against a domain registrar who is notified of INVALID and malicious
NS data (after all, it's pointing to a non-authoritative server, thus is
clearly invalid) and does NOT take action.

And yes, if you can block UDP/TCP packets at your border router, you'll be
in control in the meantime.
