Anything that does excessive getstatus queries will (and should) be 
blocked with any effective solutions, regardless of the tool behind 
those queries.

If you have problems with one of your query tools sending too many 
queries per second and becoming blocked, you can bump up the limit in 
the iptables rules, and they'll still probably work just fine. Most 
attacks send in excess of 50 queries per second, so the default rules 
are very conservative. Just tweak the number to what works well for you, 
based on the attacks that you see and the tools that you run. (Your 
tools really should not be sending "getstatus" many times per second, 
though.)
