For Debian's fail2ban, I added this to /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf:
[bind] enabled = true port = domain filter = bind protocol = udp logpath = /var/log/syslog
And this to /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/bind.local (a new file):
[INCLUDES] before = common.conf [Definition] failregex = ^%(__prefix_line)sclient <HOST>#.* query .* denied$Bam... problem more or less solved.
