Relatively few people restrict the use of their name servers to only
local users. More folks have been getting DNS servers from DHCP/Radius,
but there are still a lot of users with hard-coded resolvers. There may
be a few DNS resolvers which keep track of query sources, but more than
likely you'll end up at another dead-end because the true source will be
somewhere else.
Let's add port 53 to the every growing list of ports to block.
