   If your system can suffer from DoS because of a single person making single   
   connection once in 2 minutes, imagine what happens, if someone will poll your   
   system from a small botnet (like 100 servers) via random proxies making 10-100   
   connections per second each. Just for fun.   
      
   By the way, binkd can handle multiple connections simultaneously, so I can't   
   really imagine how a single node can cause DoS by polling your system every 2   
   minutes.
