You don't understand what kind of blacklist I want; I want to blacklist the 
domain name
being asked for, so I don't answer for it. I'm not looking to blacklist forged 
IP addresses
of requestors (since we all know criminals don't use their own identities; they 
use the
identities of innocent bystanders).

Again, why should _my_ nameserver_ respond to a query for "./ANY/IN"? I am not 
a rootserver, and never will be.

AGAIN: you don't gain anything by not responding on a UDP protocol
because the client can't distinct no response and packet loss

AGAIN, the criminal DDoS attacker who's creating these forged requests isn't 
looking for replies to themselves

but a legit client does while these attacks aren't successful at all

they're looking to abuse some poor victim. And the victim can't make the 
attacker shut up

this attacker must be pretty dumb then because the ANY request makes only sense if it get answered and the response is magnitudes larger then the request

hence you need to send them to a server giving a full answer to the victim

with just a error response he could send it's attack traffic directly given that the attacker needs the full bandwidth anyways and not using a valid DNS request, just blow out traffic to UDP 53

one couldn't care less about attackers which don't know what they are doing
