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....
comments?
have a good day...
I have a lot of mighty servers set up ad have servers at 4 locations. I
have 50mb bought and using about 30 of it now. I am not sure what it
takes to support a default SA inclusion. Does anyone know if what I
described sounds like it is enough?
