OBTW, glancing around the Web on the Internet, it looks like a lot of
folks don't realize that option { blackhole{} } cuts both ways.  Nobody
can query from those IP addresses, but you can't query into those IP
addresses.  I saw a serious proposal to blackhole the root IP addresses
so that queries to the root might be reduced - presumably on a recursive
resolver.
