Yes - we determined that the TCP-based queries were a result of RRL, 
which is optimized to help with spoofed   reflection/amplification 
attacks, but isn't intended to handle non-spoofed query-floods (hence 
S/RTBH, flowspec, IDMS, et. al.) like the particular ANY query-flood 
directed at your auths.
