[rbldnsd] ACL Syntax help (I'm a retard and didn't make a backup)

[Roland Gaspar]

Hi All,

Am new to the list, and looked through the archives but did not see this addressed; if it has, feel free to point me to the right post!

I set up an rbldnsd server about a year ago, with the simple purpose of returning the client's IP address when a TXT query was sent.
(my very specific need was to know the IP address of the DNS server connecting to me, and I could not find an easier way to explain the DNS process to clients.)
I remember I did this in the ACL file, since in the ACL file, the $ is replaced by the client IP instead of the queried IP.

I lost that acl file.

the clients are told to query the TXT record for 1.1.1.1.rbltest.domain.com , and the answer they get is "Your IP is a.b.c.d"

The zone file loaded by rbldnsd simply contains:
1.1.1.1

The ACL file specified the TXT string to return, but I've lost that machine, and the ACL file is corrupted in my backups.

I'm pressed for time, and could really use a hand.

Thanks in advance,

-Roland
