## rbldnsd-0.998.20180516 – small daemon for DNSBLs

## Description

    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.
