We also tested this solution to answer nothing to query as with an 
unresolved domain.
But finally the solution answered localhost was kept because we hope a 
machine SYN flooding will behave badly enough so its user creates a call 
and so we could know the machine requires to be patched.

Thanks for raising the idea, some others might prefer this version.
