Likely wouldnt have 5.5 mill IP's because you can fine grain it with any CIDR (and exclude by /32 or any CIDR)<BR>

By the way, how much smaller would that DNSBL be if it could use
wildcards? I suspect a real (as opposed to synthetic) DNSBL has
a lot of repetition in all except the last labels.

We used to run our int bl on bind, it was a resource hog compared to rbldnsd<BR>
But there is no way in hell, I'd run rbldnsd on anything else other than a BL,<BR>

IMO, they are both designed to do different things, and they both do their own thing, much better than the other because if it.<BR>
