Hello all, does anyone use DJB's rbldns package?  I'm trying to
use it and am having some trouble with the TXT record portion.
The documentation for the data file is at:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/rbldns-data.html

Basically no matter how I put things into the 'data' file, it will
only serve up a TXT record of "Listed 1.2.3.4"  Yes I am rebuilding
it each time, even deleting the cdb file just to make sure.

For example, I'm trying to block a mypoints.com mail server
who's address is 216.32.218.143.  I put that in the file by itself
and rbldns works fine serving up "Listed 216.32.218.143" when
queried.  According to that web page above, if I put additional
data into the file of the form "ip:a:txt" where a is the A record
and TXT is the text to return, it seems to add the IP to the DNS
server but not the other parts.

216.32.218.143:127.0.0.2:Go Away

That should return a text record of "Go Away" but it just gives
me the default "Listed 216.32.218.143" instead.

Please help. :-)

Thanks,

Dave
