Thanks. I will look into this.

Hey,
I just want to add that there is a better way to do this in iptables
with hashlimit. The normal rate limit in iptables is too crude.
Below is an example from the rate-limit-chain, to which you simply
send all port 53 traffic from the INPUT chain (make sure to exclude
127.0.0.1/127.0.0.53 though :) ).
-A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j DNS-RATE-LIMIT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j DNS-RATE-LIMIT
-A DNS-RATE-LIMIT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -m comment --comment "Dont
rate-limit localhost" -j RETURN
-A DNS-RATE-LIMIT -m hashlimit --hashlimit-upto 100/sec
--hashlimit-burst 300 --hashlimit-mode srcip --hashlimit-name DNS-drop
--hashlimit-htable-expire 2000 -j ALLOW
-A DNS-RATE-LIMIT -m limit --limit 1/sec -j LOG --log-prefix "DNS-drop: "
-A DNS-RATE-LIMIT -m comment --comment "ansible[dns rate limiting]" -j
DROP

For my servers I'm using iptables rules to achieve ratelimiting. They
look as follows:
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -m recent
--update --seconds 600 --hitcount 4 --name DEFAULT --mask
255.255.255.255 --rsource -j DROP
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -m recent
--set --name DEFAULT --mask 255.255.255.255 --rsource
It should be fairly trivial to convert these to use UDP 53, and tweak
the timings you want. These rules are intended to allow 4 connections
(which normally should be entire SMTP transactions) every 10 minutes.
Since I have 2 edge nodes with these rules, that is doubled to 8
connections total. If you're an authoritative name server only,
realistically mostly recursors / caching servers would query your
servers and not too often. You can easily restrict traffic here. If
you're a recursor too, this becomes a bit more complicated.
Regarding the legitimate queries, it would be prudent to allow common
recursors (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9 etc) to have exceptions to this
rule. Just allow their IP addresses to send traffic either
unrestricted, or using a more relaxed version of the above.
HTH,

And that is just since Jul 31 3am.
This is fairly recent so I never looked into what I might do to protect
against this. I am the master for my domain, so I do need to allow for
legitimate queries.
Any best practices on this?
I am running bind 9.11.4
thanks
