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.
