I used to think the same thing.

Then I learned that I needed to also add similar configuration for 
`allow-query {...};` and `allow-query-cache {...};`

The `allow-query-cache {...};` actually bit me because people were able 
to get the result of recursion if it was in the cache.

    allow-recursion   { recclients; };
    allow-query       { recclients; };
    allow-query-cache { recclients; };

Something to consider.
