Hi Vernon!

Thank you for the reply, but it is a problem to make predeterminated combination of blacklists; another issue is that every user needs an rpz personal-blacklist file, so the view must be owned only by one user.

I am working, since some days, with Bind-Flz, it seems stable and robust... let's hope! :)

Francesco

In the BIND9 implementation, response policy zones are much the same
as any other zone in a view.  That implies that BIND9 policy zones
have the general strengths and weaknesses of BIND9 views and zones
for providing DNS services for large numbers of customers.


Would it be possible to assign each of the 100 customers to one of 8
views corresponding to the 8 possible combinations of the 3 blacklists?
