  11                 rbldnsd is a small and fast DNS daemon which is especially made to serve DNSBL
  12                 zones. This daemon was inspired by Dan J. Bernstein's rbldns program found in
  13                 the djbdns package.
  14
  15                 rbldnsd is extremely fast - it outperforms both bind and djbdns greatly. It has
  16                 very small memory footprint.
  17
  18                 The daemon can serve both IP-based (ordb.org, dsbl.org etc) and name-based
  19                 (rfc-ignorant.org) blocklists. Unlike DJB's rbldns, it has ability to specify
  20                 individual values for every entry, can serve as many zones on a single IP
  21                 address as you wish, and, finally, it is a real nameserver: it can reply to DNS
  22                 metadata requests. The daemon keeps all zones in memory for faster operations,
  23                 but its memory usage is very efficient, especially for repeated TXT values which
  24                 are stored only once.
