The size remains nearly the same. 24 hourly little diff files = 1 daily diff file > to stay current, times the number of people that want to > download the files--have you got a spare OC-3 laying around...? No. If the file is shared from a single point it can be DDOSed even if you have 3 OC-3s. The point is to push this data into a P2P network. Do you know how much Terabytes of data any day will be transfered only by mp3 and mpg exchange? It's not one single user who provides Madonna's last song. ;-) Maybe the total traffic will increase because I will download (and in a P2P network also share) data that I never need, simply because my server doesn't receive any message from all this blacklisted Ips. But on the other side I will transfer any IP only one time if added and one time if removed and this in a zipped format. At them moment I will create traffic for every single message containing not only the IP but also a unique identifier pointing to the regarding DNS server. (Ip.ad.dr.es.dnsserver.provider.com) Don't talk about traffic overhead for thousands of small IP packets. Maybe I'm missing something and you're right. Would be interresting to invite someone like Bill Larson from compu.net who has send out this week an anouncement about his conseqences due the the high DDOS attack risk that IP blacklist providers run into last weeks. I'm sure he can say something about traffic volume, daily changed records and so on.
