If you know fixed aspects of the queries / responses, you can very 
likely filter them with Response Policy Zone.

However I think you will need Response Policy Service to be able to do 
more instrumentation / trending / tracking and filtering of unknown 
ahead of time aspects.

I think of RPS for DNS much like I think of milters for Sendmail.

It's my understanding that RPS support is in BIND.  However I'm not 
aware of any free RPS filters.  I think there is at least one commercial 
implementation.
