sadly, i remain unaware of any non-BIND implementation of RPZ. if there
are any, please tell us, so that we can update the
<https://dnsrpz.info/> web site.

we also used RPZ in the response to "DNS Changer" (see
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120327_dns_changer/), so, it's safe to
say that RPZ is now a real tool -- because it's been used used and/or
abused in ways its designers never contemplated.

i have two questions. first, why would you want to pre-distribute a
"master" zone file containing these DNS cutouts, rather than operating
an AXFR server and inviting interested parties to "slave" the RPZ from
you in case the set of cutouts is changed some time in the future (adds,
deletes, renames?)

it appears here that your concern is to resolve any future collision
between an ICANN gTLD and a "p2p" gTLD, in favour of the "p2p" gTLD, and
that you'd like to enforce this by having those queries never arrive at
any IANA root name server in the first place. (because, today, those
queries would all be answered with NXDOMAIN). my question is: why do
this, rather than passing a law ("adopting an RFC") that reserves these
names within the IANA system, such that the NXDOMAIN source can reliably
be the IANA root name servers?

thanks again for your kind words about RPZ.
