Even when reading the source code. The rate of 1/2 seems hardcoded.

	/* discard half the packets, randomly */
	if((random() & 0x1)) {

Also, I wouldn't mind having an option to control the length of the
rate-limited prefixes (it's also hardcoded).

	/* we take a /24 for IPv4 and /64 for IPv6 */
...
		return ((struct sockaddr_in*)&query->addr)->
			sin_addr.s_addr & htonl(0xffffff00);
