I'm seeing something similar.  The requests are to our authoritative
servers, and appear to be mostly for a small number of domains at a time
(they are all domains we are authoritative for).  They are all ANY
queries, often repeated for the same domain rapidly.  The requests come
from one IP at a time, but move to another IP in a minute or two.

This does NOT appear to be related to the recent BIND vulnerability.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
