4/24/04: In order to prevent future confusion, we are changing the names of the rbldnsd zone files from .rbldns to .rbldnsd . If you are using rbldnsd, please update your rsync and cron configs to use the slightly revised .rbldnsd names. For now both old and new names are being served, but we may want to stop serving the deprecated names at some point in future. If you're using the old names, please update to the new ones. We expect the new names to be stable. The changes to the rbldnsd zone file names are:
sc.surbl.org.rbldns --> sc.surbl.org.rbldnsd ws.surbl.org.rbldns --> ws.surbl.org.rbldnsd be.surbl.org.rbldns --> be.surbl.org.rbldnsd
(For background, there are two RBL name server programs with similar names but different functionality: rbldnsd and rbldns. Zone files for the two programs do not share the same syntax. But they are similar enough to cause potential confusion.)
4/24/04: Zone files now only update when the underlying spam URI domains have changed.
The latter change means there are fewer unnecessary zone transfers, but could potentially affect anyone who was looking at the zone file serial numbers or file times as a status flag or heartbeat.
