	You didn't answer my question.

	That handles gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, getaddrinfo and
	getnameinfo.  It doesn't handle all the other potential
	queries for a non-registered name.

	Ask the ".se" administators what non-registered names under
	".se" cause.  They see plenty of leaks.  I presume it is the
	same for just about all infrastructure zones.  "." definitely
	gets many.
