Set up a nameserver there. Configure it to return 127.0.0.2 (or whatever the old MAPS reply for "spam" was) to all queries. Let it run for a week. See if anything changes in terms of it getting hammered.

Well I've seen some RBLs do this with about 2 days notice. Perhaps a special value could be defined ( 127.255.255.255 ? ) to tell users that the DNSBL is no longer in operation and shouldn't be used, standard software can then raise an error or whatever. -- Simon J.
