the last I heard about is the CIAC Advisory dated Sept. 1 1999:
PROBLEM:        A new form of denial of service attack based on the
		difference 
                in size between a Domain Name System (DNS) query and a DNS 
                response and the willingness of DNS servers to answer
		queries 
                from any source.

I sent the Adv. to the bind maintainer, including the workaround, without
any answer.

Bye
