Configure it to return 127.0.0.2 (or whatever the old MAPS reply for "spam" was) to all queries. Let it run for a week. See if anything changes in terms of it getting hammered. That doesn't help get the old/unwatched installations to stop sending queries. It's been established that regardless of what you return, those installations will continue querying the dead BL. That's why I think your best/only option is to attempt to misdirect them by pointing NS at . or unreachable space...effectively giving them someplace harmless to send their queries or to fail them without even having to send them. Killing the parent domain is an option too, but that only pushes the problem onto someone else's plate (the TLD servers). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
