Why want to swing such a big hammer.  Even blocking those 2 IP's will
isolate your users, and fill your support queue's.

When the malicious DNS services get shutdown you will still have your
support queue's filled, anyway.

Doing it now will let you identify those affected. Blockage doesn't have
to be all-or-nothing. It can be incremental, selective or all-or-nothing
on some time windows.

Better now than later.
