NAME

       rbldns-data - data tool for rbldns

DESCRIPTION

       rbldns-data  reads  an  IP  address  list  from  a  file named data in the current directory.  It creates
       data.cdb in a binary format designed for fast access by rbldns(8).  It may also create some  other  files
       with names beginning with data.

       rbldns-data  updates  data.cdb  atomically,  so  you  can  use  it safely while rbldns(8) is running.  If
       anything goes wrong with the creation of data.cdb, rbldns-data stops  and  leaves  the  old  data.cdb  in
       place.

Data format

       ip

       The IP address ip is on the list.

       ip/n

       All  IP  addresses  that  share  the  first  n  bits  of the IP address ip are on the list.  For example,
       1.2.3.0/24 means all 1.2.3.*  addresses.  n must be at least 8, and all bits past the nth in ip  must  be
       0.

       :a:txt

       DNS queries for addresses on the list will receive an A record of a and a TXT record of txt.  Typically a
       is 127.0.0.2 and txt is a pointer to a web page about the list.

       If txt ends with $, rbldns(8) replaces the $ with the IP address.

       #comment

       Comment line. The line is ignored.
