Hi Gang

I am part of the SWINOG Anti-Spam Blacklists team which are used by a
handfull of swiss ISP.

Very early, we also started adding IPv6 addresses to the blacklist but
soon noticed that there is a potential problem with IPv6 and wildcard
entries.

Easy fix: do not use wildcards in IPv4 listings.

Both rbldnsd and BIND have other mechanisms for compactly generating records that cover an IPv4 /24 network without also generating records for all of an IPv6 /24 network. I would expect and hope that any other authoritative nameserver would have similar mechanisms.
