FWIW, saw ANY queries at a rate of 10 per second from one IP to a DNS server today, all for isc.org.  Saw a few hundred 
more for tmss.trendmicro.com from a different IP. Other popular names include plus.google.com, maps.google.com, and 
play.google.com. (all denied by that particular server, which is patched against such).

Anyone know if there's a project to track popular amplification names?  :-)
