	That's a tricky assumption - it really depends what you
	were querying *for* on the server: a query like server.bind,
	while being a well established way of querying for the software
	and version of a DNS server, does not mean you are allowed to
	probe for that specific information in the eyes of the owner.

	IANAL, and I do agree with you about not being concerned, but I'm
	always cautious when giving advice to other people :)
