Actually I was so tired that I did not even notice the high/low typo on your
post :)

What I actually meant that (at least I have read so) SORBS does not list
because of TTL. It is a delisting criteria, and I think the point is to show
that the rDNS is not changed just for tricking SORBS. If this is correct,
and I do believe it is, SORBS does not require that the TTL be permanently
high and dropping the TTL a reasonable time later (for example to prepare
for faster name changes) is not alone sufficient reason for relisting (if I
am mistaken, someone can propably correct me).

If SORBS actually went around searching for IP's with low TTL and listing
them for that, I agree that it would propably be a bad idea and cause too
many false positives.
