But one still needs to signal rbldnsd to reload the data, right? If one has just hostname data or fixed IP address data (no ranges) yet another option is the "constant database" cdb [1]. I use it a lot for these purposes. You can even match domain wildcards, by successively stripping the most significant parts of the subject domain before trying the match. I am wondering if (or why not) a similar no-daemon option exists for CIDR range data. There are definitely perl modules that manipulate such data, but none I'm aware of with a built-in compiled, quickly loaded dataset format.
