New Package: rbldnsd

[Paul Howarth]

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.

It's the defacto standard for serving DNS zones of this type in fact.
