Can we block/detect DNS beacon channels?

[Blason R]

Well, challenge is not implementing RPZ that part is done but now wondering
as a advanced part if such attacks can be detected as well blocked by using
RPZ? I guess one option I see if to deploy HIDS on BIND server like
suricata which will detect such attacks. But that will consume lot of
resources hence wondering if natively can we configure anything like that?
