Ah. Basically you verse the IP address, and tack on the RBL domain. ie: SORBS is dnsbl.sorbs.net, my IP is 66.92.69.221. So do a lookup for: 221.69.92.66.dnsbl.sorbs.net. $ host 221.69.92.66.dnsbl.sorbs.net. Host 221.69.92.66.dnsbl.sorbs.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) you should get a response with an A record for some 127.0.0.0/8 host if it is actually listed. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Problem solving under linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX."
