Can anyone recommend a good DNSBL for open proxies and such, that

opm.blitzed.org
OK, thanks. Question: they seem to use a different return value than other DNSBLs. They say:

In the combined zone (opm.blitzed.org) the A record has an IP address of 127.1.0.x where x is a bitmask of the types of proxy that have been reported to be running on the host. The values of the bitmask are as follows:
WinGate 1
Socks 2
HTTP Connect 4
Cisco 8
HTTP Post 16

Bitmask? I'm not sure I understand.
This means if WinGate is open and nothing else, it will return 127.1.0.1. If WinGate and Cisco are open it returns 127.1.0.9.

 Which open proxies should I be concerned about (WinGate, Socks, etc.)
All of them.

from the list above and what values do I place in my blacklist for each, what values are returned for each?
127.0.0.2-127.255.255.255 sounds good :)


If I understand this bitmask thing correctly, then the list items would return values as follows:

WinGate 127.1.0.1 (1 bit of the last quad set)
Socks 127.1.0.3 (2 bits of the last quad set)
HTTP Connect 127.1.0.15 (4 bits of the last quad set)
Cisco 127.1.0.255 (all 8 bits of the last quad set)
HTTP Post ummm... (Heres where the bitmask thing doesn't seem quite right.)

Someone please 'splain "bitmask" to me in this application.
Addative. This way the final number tells you exactly which proxies are opne. For example, 127.1.0.21 would mean that WinGate, HTTP COnenct and HTTP Post where open, but not Socks or Cisco.
