I wonder how he's going to find out just who is using RBL and who isn't?
Wouldn't it be easy enough to ping each suspect network from a machine that he knows has been RBL'd? Or (in the stealth scenario) send a message to an autoresponder on each suspected network?
I wonder if he could subpeona the list of RBL subscribers in the interests of naming them in a law suit. Not that I think he has the financial backing to actually carry the suit out, but it is a curiosity.
Look at the RBL site, a DNS subsciber it not tracked anywhere, except maybe Vixie's XFER log files.
