in DNS RRL (www.redbarn.org/dns/ratelimits) a motive and a method is 
described whereby queries which appear to be uselessly duplicative are 
dropped without response. this is the main method of managed 
nonparticipation in DNS-amplified DDoS attacks.

perhaps this is exempted from your otherwise broad statement, since the 
implementation of DNS RRL does not render an implementation "unable" to 
respond to all well-formed queries, but rather, "unwilling" to do so.
