This should work fine, as long as one of the following is true: A) You run no other dns server on the box. B) You run your RBL from the smae DNS server as your regular DNS. C) You have your main DNS bind only to one ip and have the rbl dns server bind to the other. I would suggest C... Stefan Jeglinski turned me on to "rbldns" which is part of Daniel Berstein's "djbdns" package. "djbdns" is known for being a pretty tight piece of code. "rbldns" is designed just for doing RBLs, and is very easy to setup. I even wrote a little PERL script to pull my RBL info out of a Mysql database and put it into rbldns every couple hours. Note that rbldns runs only on un*x (should include OS X). -- Joe Laffey | Want to convert subnet masks between different LAFFEY Computer Imaging | notations, or figure the number of IPs in a block?
