I'd like to get rid of the sc and ws bind and rbldnsd zone files from the SURBL web site and replace them with a note asking people to use rsync instead. Does anyone have any comments on this? We don't want people grabbing the zone files from the web site since rsync is so much more efficient.
Probably I would check the web logs and try to contact some of the folks trying this also.

Hi!
from the SURBL web site and replace them with a note asking people to use rsync instead. Does anyone have any comments on this? We don't want people grabbing the zone files from the web site since rsync is so much more efficient.

Sounds logical to me.
Bye, Raymond.

Does it exist for all kinds of OS ? At the moment I don't have a rsync on my OS/2 box, but OTOH I don't need any zone files. Isn't there some kind of TCP access on zone files in nslookup ? If yes or no, is this relevant for your RFC ? Sorry, I've no idea... ;-)

Add OS/2 to the list of the usual suspects where this isn't necessarily stupidity. OS/2 has nslookup, if that helps.
Bye, Frank

It appears that rsync has been ported to OS/2:
http://www.steffensiebert.de/ports/rsync.html http://www.srehttp.org/apps/rxrsync/
rsync is really popular so it probably exists on many platforms.

Do you have rbldnsd for OS2 ? Besided that, sources are available, so port away :)

I think I'm doing bind transfers. I'll stop it.
Also, to save bandwidth with rsync, you can consider gziping the your zone files.

Thanks. Do you have rsync access? If not, please request it at:
http://www.surbl.org/rsync-signup.html

rsync only transmits differences, so the bandwidth is small, especially since the zone files don't change very much.

Jeff,
Any thoughts on if this will happen or a time frame on possibly when?
Darrell

Yes, I definitely plan to do it, probably via a custom error message from the web server. Not sure when yet.
Do you know anyone using the zone files this way? We should get them changed over to rsync if they have enough mail volume.
Or were they using the data for other purposes?
