No, and also note the your rate-limit {} stanza could be either in
your options {} statement, or in a view {} statement. The latter
replaces rather than supplements what you have in options.

RRL should only be used on authoritative servers. Are you saying you
saw such logs from a named instance without a rate-limit stanza?
Indeed, that should not be so.
