Sadly, this is for remote hosts. I have no idea why someone would use such services as there are too many false positives. It is like using an IDS that is 2 weeks behind on it's definition. That brings up the point of false positives and outdated information blocking legitimate users, perhaps many which is what my company is experiencing since they deem certain reverse dns entries too "generic" and blacklisted a /18. I believe that is why no one knows if they will be bought or whatnot. Who knows.
