Best defense is one that they don't know about
Ok, that's basically asking for the dns servers to be attacked again by acknowledging that there is a defense in place that was planned specifically for such an attack.

My personal opinion is that part of a defense is never admitting that you have one in place. Or, if it is known you do. Never acknowledge what it is, or how it works.
