Spamhaus Override
Hello all,
I would imagine many of you are as concerned as I about the Illinois
court order
(http://www.spamhaus.org/archive/lega...order_6_10.pdf) that
threatens to rescind Spamhaus's domain name via ICANN. As the operator
of a small but significant (to my clients, at any rate) resolving
nameserver, what can I change in my configuration in order to keep
spamhaus.org resolving? Is something as kludgy as a source patch
required to override resolution of a domain, or can I do something fancy
with my configuration? Ideally there is something I can do to my
nameserver that will have the same effect on resolution for my clients
that a change to my hosts file would have on my own box.
I hope for the sake of my inbox that I'm not the only one contemplating
such solutions...

Use the datafeed setup http://www.spamhaus.org/datafeed/index.html
Or find some other people to do this together with..
Beware of the memory the server needs ( > 512 Mb)

fwiw, spamhaus.org.uk also works, and is not subject to US court orders.

Of course, it is, "spamhaus.org.uk." depends on "co.uk." which depends
on "uk." which depends on "." which depends on the US governement, as
well as "org."
But we are drifting away from BIND :-)

There is a root zonefile at

you can use it to run your own rootserver - just in case 
I hope I did translate the text correctly.
And Paul might suggest the ORSN servers who generate their own
root zonefile without believing everything "rootservers.net" says.
Kind regards

Not drifting, pole vaulted past it. There are plenty of other venues
for political commentary.

Yes, it is perfect. The text makes no sense in French and you rendered
this lack of meaning faithfully.
