Groan. I've checked our netflow, and I've not found any evidence those 
ones are being used for attacks. Could 'recursion denied' be listed 
differently, or not listed at all?

I think it makes more sense for operators to concentrate their efforts on 
the 60+ x amplification 'open resolver' hosts, not the 3 x amplification 
'recursion denied' hosts.
