I'm not a DNS guru so I don't have an exact answer.  However my gut
feeling is that putting in a place a rule to drop or rate limit DNS
replies greater than X bytes is probably going to come back to bite you
in the future.

No one can predict the future of what will constitute legitimate DNS
traffic.
