Well, we keep a couple of PDP-11/45's running UNIX 5th edition in the
basement to prevent elephant stampedes.  This also works great.  We
have had no elephant stampedes in the last 25 years.

To the point - what makes you think that there would be any UDP floods
if you did enable UDP on your name servers?  Have you tried and had
problems?
