These approaches aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, as most flow 
telemetry implementations still report on blocked traffic from exporting 
devices.

Keeping the network up and available for the vast majority of the 
customer base trumps all other considerations.  DNS queries should not 
typically be directed towards consumer broadband access netblocks, 
period; and when they cause operational problems due to abusable CPE 
being, well, abused, immediate remediation action(s) must be taken.

To do otherwise would be irresponsible.
