As mentioned by Phil Mayers, the source IP address is forged. By
blocking this IP, you strike the victim.

The operators of F-root use this on their FreeBSD machines to
rate-limit per source IP:

add     pipe 1          udp     from any to any 53 in
pipe 1  config  mask src-ip 0xffffffff buckets 1024 bw 400Kbit/s queue 3
add     pipe 2          tcp     from any to any 53 in
pipe 2  config  mask src-ip 0xffffffff buckets 1024 bw 100Kbit/s queue 3
