<DIV><BR>> Here we go.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And we are done already, I had tried queries in
reverse, but was forgetting to put the ns1.sarsrbl.org at the end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had used that name as a dummy address for testing
purposes, total time to finishing setting up, little less than</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>an hour, I think I may have finally understood what
you mean by zone basename, in my current configuration I </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>only have one zone though. But what I should have
done is the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>zone example should have been for testing
purposes "spamtrap" for basename and then would have queried</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2.0.0.127.spamtrap.sarsrbl.org to get reply of
127.0.0.2 when sarsrbl.org would be a fully qualified domain name.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trying to figure out the naming method
of the different rbl's and now let just say the lights</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>are coming on....thanks again</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>> <BR>> First of all, it isn't 127.0.0.2, it's 2.0.0.127 -- the
octets<BR>> in an IPv4 address should be reversed when making a dns
query,<BR>> pretty like when you query in-addr.arpa (reverse dns)
zone.<BR>> <BR>> Second, you forget the zone basename -- the same thing as
you<BR>> specified incorrectly in the rbldnsd command line. With
that<BR>> specifications above, you should query for
2.0.0.127.ns1.sarsrbl.org<BR>> instead of 127.0.0.2. You append the
reversed IP to the base<BR>> zone name, just like with in-addr.arpa
lookups.<BR>> <BR>> /mjt<BR>>
