Maybe I'm not being very imaginative, but how can something from !53 be 
considered a DNS response to a query sent to port 53?  Can you give some 
examples of the sorts of packets that fall into this rather large % of 
ill-behaved hosts?  Are you sure you're not treating things like icmp port 
unreachable as a "!udp/53 src response"?
