I love the "BOFH" alias.  Are you the target of the DoS, or is it an amplification attack?  What kind of queries are you being hit with?

I've seen a lot of ANY queries against the root zone, some ANY queries against isc.org, an someone else was reporting huge TXT records from a Russian domain a few days ago.
