udp and tcp, from the same sources.

Yes - we determined that the TCP-based queries were a result of RRL, which is optimized to help with spoofed reflection/amplification attacks, but isn't intended to handle non-spoofed query-floods (hence S/RTBH, flowspec, IDMS, et. al.) like the particular ANY query-flood directed at your auths.
