DNS Flood Detector

http://www.adotout.com/dnsflood.html
Detects abusive traffic on nameservers

DNS Flood Detector was developed to detect abusive usage levels on high traffic nameservers and to enable quick response in halting (among other things) the use of one's nameserver to facilitate spam. DNS Flood Detector uses libpcap to monitor incoming dns queries to a nameserver. The tool may be run in either daemon or 'bindsnap' mode. In daemon mode, the tool will alarm via syslog. In bindsnap mode, the user is able to get near-real-time stats on usage to aid in more detailed troubleshooting.
