Unfortunately, I have little experience with server administration, and 
have never had the pleasure of attempting to mitigate or thwart an 
attack on server and network infrastructure I was responsible for, and 
whose attack I'd be blamed for.

I'd say the dampening patch and throttling may help, but you may need to 
pull the plug on those resolvers in the short term to thwart the attack 
upon isc.org.
