[ratelimits] can't trigger rate-limit

Thanks for the suggestion.
I', able to see the same behavior (rate-limit does not seem to trigger)
with the same minimal config you used:

% cat /tmp/named.conf  

options {
   directory        "/tmp";
   pid-file         "pid";
   session-keyfile  "session.key";
   listen-on        port 8053 { 127.0.0.1; };
   rate-limit {
       responses-per-second 5;
   };
};
logging {
    channel rl {
        severity info;
        print-category yes; print-time yes; print-severity yes; file "rl-log";
    };
    category rate-limit { rl; };
};


# /usr/local/sbin/named -f -c /tmp/named.conf

%  repeat 10 dig @127.0.0.1 +short +tries=1 +time=3  -p 8053 rhyolite.com
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3
192.188.61.3

Repeating for larger repeat counts, and using queryperf to flood the server with higher volumes
also didn't trigger rate-limit.

If there's other tests I should try, or more detailed logging output I should
collect, I'll be happy to do so.
