Once upon a time, Brielle Bruns <bruns () 2mbit com> said:
UDP is a fun protocol - stateless, so blocking a DST of 53/UDP to
the customer also will block responses to recursive queries that
originate from SRC 53/UDP.  Connection tracking sorta makes it
stateful to a point, but it can get ugly with enough traffic.

Sending queries from port 53 has been considered bad behavior and
deprecated for what, 15 years now?
