In that case it would just be a standard reflective attack, virtually no
amplification.  The same could be said of just about any protocol where a
spoofed query would elicit a response (icmp, tcp, etc).  The problem to keep
in mind is the amplification effect caused by open recursive servers and the
ability to spoof requests towards them.
