(This workaround won't work for the attack listed, but it's still useful to
know..)

If you're using named 8.*, it can be run out of inittab with the
non-daemonising switch.

On linuxen:

/etc/inittab

bi:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/named -f

At least this way, should it die, it'll come back within seconds.
