In addition to the BCPs already mentioned by Sean and Nathan, a good  
detection/classification/traceback system plus S/RTBH can be helpful,  
and there are commercial DDoS mitigation services/scrubbers available  
from various SPs/vendors which have DNS-specific functionality, as  
well.  Blocking TCP/53 is definitely not an optimal solution, as many  
have already pointed out.

      History is a great teacher, but it also lies with impunity.
