the query before sending it on, IMNSHO. The fact that reddit.com has an unfriendly behavior WRT illegal queries doesn't mean it is their fault; there is no requirement to return NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL or anything at all, so they chose to drop the query.
There is! Not answering a query is indistinguishable from packet loss, forcing the client to re-send the query. So it is the wrong thing to do, and will increase the number of these bad queries hitting their servers.
