CC on bugs. + + + rbldnsd is a small and fast DNS daemon which is especially made to serve DNSBL + zones. This daemon was inspired by Dan J. Bernstein's rbldns program found in + the djbdns package. + + rbldnsd is extremely fast - it outperforms both bind and djbdns greatly. It has + very small memory footprint. + + The daemon can serve both IP-based (ordb.org, dsbl.org etc) and name-based + (rfc-ignorant.org) blocklists. Unlike DJB's rbldns, it has ability to specify + individual values for every entry, can serve as many zones on a single IP + address as you wish, and, finally, it is a real nameserver: it can reply to DNS + metadata requests. The daemon keeps all zones in memory for faster operations, + but its memory usage is very efficient, especially for repeated TXT values which + are stored only once. + +
