been following Warren Togami's aggressive lobbying for adding RBLs to
SA's defaults, and I have some questions:
- is it wise to add yet even more lookups to BLs and slow down SA's
already huge amount of DNS lookups.
- is the BL in question (which ever it may be) prepared for sustaining
the global traffic load of millions of default SA setups.
- does the BL have a track record, wide acceptance, safety and
reliability to become a standard in SA?
- shouldn't SA be conservative and deliver *safe* default setups
allowing the end user/admin/whatever decide how far he/she wants to hog
his setup with by querying yet more BLs.
- With all respect for Mark and his efforts: there is a track of one man
operated BLs being DDOS'd to oblivion, operators disappearing, etc.
Should this be weighted as well?
I believe these points should have more weight than arguing about
trivial naming or BL colours....
These are good questions. I am only proposing at this point putting
this DNSBL into the sandbox so it can be tested against the corpa and we
can get some real statistics.
