Hi Mark,

I suspect in this particular case it was no an amplification attack,
because it was aimed at one or more resolvers that will not answer at
all.  At best they would refused response.  I suspect it was some sort
of exploratory scanning, just not sure who was doing or why.  Sometimes
folks come forward, sometimes not.  :-)
