Public bug reported:

BIND 9.10.3+ has additional tuning options for recursive servers that
can be enabled at build time with --enable-fetchlimit.  "These features
are intended to optimize recursive server behavior in favor of good
client queries, whilst at the same time limiting the impact of bad
client queries (e.g. queries which cannot be resolved, or which take too
long to resolve) on local recursive server resource use.".  Please
consider building the bind 9.10 packages with fetchlimit enabled.

Further details are available in ISC's knowledge base:
