As reported in many places, a new attack has been presented which can allow an attacker to poison caching and forwarding DNS server entries. The PDF is an interesting read and contains many different ideas which chained together can lead to this attack. I believe the following firewall rule should defend against the attack on caching servers with very little side effect by preventing sending of ICMP messages saying that the given UDP port was unreachable:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type port-unreachable -m u32 --u32 '34 & 0xFF = 17' -j DROP
