If software were written so that receiving this would drop the BL from the list, then you would only get one query each time the software starts up -- even better would be that this response removes (or comments out) the blacklist from the config file so that it doesn't come back after a restart.... Yes, this doesn't fix Paul's problem (or anyone who setup a blacklist before this is standardized) and there is no way to enforce this, but it is bunch better than not doing anything... 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.
