It basically repeats from there, with different $ORIGIN lines, comments and TXT records. Note that I manage this by way of a shell script wrapper around a perl backend that turns a SIMS-style blacklist into a BIND zone file. The shell script takes a range and comment as input, sorts the new data into the SIMS-style text file as a record with a timestamp, pumps that text file through the perl convertor, and kicks the nameserver to reload the zone. Doing that automation means that there is never a syntactical error in the file, and every record added has common features. The actual lookup for a DNSBL is for an A record, but I have TXT records as well because of the tradition of doing basic documentation of records there.
Bill,
Any chance you might be willing to share this script with the class? Building something like this has been near the top of my list of things to do for some time, but keeps getting knocked back to the bottom lf said list by more pressing needs.
