I'm surprised by this. I thought that something like this would work,
and it did when I tested it:

acl clients {
        127.0.0.1/32;
        192.0.2.0/24;
	...
};

options {
	...
	allow-recursion { 
		clients; 
	};
        rate-limit {
                responses-per-second 5;
                window 5;
                exempt-clients { 
			clients; 
		};
        };
};

What am I missing?
