10 years ago rbldnsd was the right choice for a DNSBL.  Today rbldnsd
is an egregious mistake engrained the uninformed and unexamined
preconceptions and prejudices of DNSBL users.  The hand wringing about
IPv6 spam ending the usefulness of DNSBLs and the proposals to put
B-trees into the DNS wire protocol make only if you assume that rsync
is the only way to distribute DNSBL data and that wildcards cannot be
used in DNSBLs because rbldnsd didn't like them and that rsync is the
only way to distribute DNSBL data.
