It's probably doable, but I might counter-propose having SA generate stats of URIs detected, or asking some of the larger installations to grep their logs. :-) One problem I could see would be people seeing traffic to the other list, and manually configuring to use it, assuming it was some kind of more complete list or something similarly "elite". (I was thinking of a list name like multi-all.surbl.org hosted on just a few nameservers, but that could get overwhelmed if the above happened. Maybe a name like multi-test or multi-check or multi-dont-use might help?) Jeff C.
