Here's another bennie: I just now caught a hacker, thanks to
"allow-query { localhost ;}" on "version.named".  Of course, he was
coming in from a freshly hacked system, so I don't know originally
whence he came, but he stopped using that system to hack others, anyway.
He was doing precisely what I expected a hacker might do, by looking at
version.named.
