There are some good general recommendations in this document (Word 
format?  Really?), but this is incorrect and harmful, and should be 
removed:

	iii.	Consider dropping any DNS reply packets which are larger than 512 
Bytes – these are commonly found in DNS DoS Amplification attacks.

This *breaks the Internet*.  Don't do it.
