I never put the two together now, but this could be why I've never had
any such complaints.  I have a watcher snooping my port-123 traffic and
any IP that sends too fast gets router-blocked at my border.  I did
this out of self-defense against clients that don't understand why it's
a bad thing to query multiple times a second or the like.  But it does
mean that I'm not much use as an attack bandwidth amplifier.  (Yes, I
have similar guards on port 53 too....)
