One way was to block requests from that DNS IP but that was not
practicle as many users on that DNS won't be able to communicate
with our server.
 
so What is the best way to prevent DNS queries consuming bandwidth.

Run an authoritative-only DNS server that won't respond
to queries for domains it doesn't handle.  tinydns from
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html would be an example.
