Besides workarounds on your side, have you tried using your
position as a major operator of some kind to contact the tech
teams at cameloginteractive.com and the National Lottery to
make sure their load balancing/short TTL DNS entries are served
by machines that don't throttle the resulting traffic?

I happen to use a very similar technique for a lot of our traffic
and get problems when downstream systems cache replies way beyond
our TTL.  Of cause the DNS servers for those things are our own
machines not throttling the requested traffic.
