That's ok.  At least six more Telstra PCs will get compromised tomorrow.
I don't know if they're doing uRPF etc. to stop address spoofing, or
blocking RFC1918,
but if not, that may help keep the load down.  I'm not a fan of using anycast
as opposed to building scalable distributed configurations of DNS servers 
and coordinating them with the DHCP settings that tell customers what
server to use,
(and monitoring them to make sure they keep working :-),
but it can be good for isolating some problems like this.
