Anycast doesn't matter, I guess.  But it's been observed multiple
times that outages of authoritative servers tend to cause query storms
if the zone contains a popular name, or client software is broken.

Two incidents come to my mind, the lockup.zonelabs.com issue and the
.ORG outage.  From time to time, I also see this live, on the wire
(close to the resolver, so the packet rate is comparatively low, but I
suspect that other sites are flooding the authoritative servers in
these cases, too).

Resolver outages to query floods and accompanying resource consumption
have only been reported privately so far, I think.
