Sounds like djb's "thing" - his opinion was that if you asked his server
for something for which it hadn't been configured, it would simply ignore
you (no answer of any kind).

I think that's broken, but there's little that can be done to stop it,
if people don't want to send you packets, no matter what the circumstances,
there's nothing you can do to make them.
