I "sort of" tested them, and they worked for me.

I checked this out by doing a tcpdump of my ppp link, and looked at all
of the DNS traffic.  Responses to my queries came in to *my* port 53.

Independent of whether or not my suggested rule is wrong, the old rule
will give free reign to anybody who sends UDP packets from their NTP or
DNS ports.
