The ip= modifier would be a great way to arrange for something to look like
it came from a different source than its actual source.   I'm sure there's
an attack surface in there somewhere.


I'm haven't thought hard enough to say what vulnerability that would enable
that wasn't already there using unsigned zones (because enterprise DNS
tricks or some other reason) but you're probably right.
