Ah. rbl.maps.vix.com from about a decade back when it was available as a bgp feed. But only for ddos sources.

But in the meanwhile, a decade later, it does not longer exist.
it still exists (same ASN, different bgp peer address) as a commercial service now operated by Trend Micro. noncommercial alternatives exist, considering here the Spamhaus and Cymru offerings. (i regret that i was unable to continue the service noncommercially, but lawyers are expensive, and volunteers burn out faster than employees, and so on.)
In fact, the first link that google gave out, says that this project is dead at least 2 years ago.

fun. perhaps i'll stop getting 100+ queries per second to the nameservers of rbl.maps.vix.com some day before i die, now that google is on my side.
I think that we all have a real opportunity here for make something that can be useful to all.
i think Spamhaus and Cymru are way ahead of you in implementing such a thing, and it's likely that there are even commercial alternatives to Trend Micro although i have not kept up on those details. -- Paul Vixie
