Just a quick silly question.

Running BIND9 (someone kindly raped to get it to work on windows) but it does not seem to support CIDR ranges. I mostly use it to block unwanted email by connecting IP (glorified reverse DNS).

Rather than have to enter loads of lines to match up wide spans of ranges I would like to define them using CIDR, but it seems it does not support it.

I'm probably being really thick - but is this so?!

I do a similar thing with BIND in my network I take IP ranges for certain countries and set up a blocklist using reverse format. BIND will work with CIDR but in a very limited way. Heres an example from my list:

*.82.77         IN A  127.0.0.3

The stetment above will block a whole /16

*.191.79.77             IN A  127.0.0.3

The statement above will block a whole /24

So, you just have to set up your script to break things down by /8, /16, or /24. Thats about the best you can do.
