You may have the time for all this arbitrary rules interpretation
that you seem to enjoy but in the real world people have jobs to do
and it rapidly becames tiresome.  Neil's example is exactly the same
as others I have come across and sadly it is silly paranoid policies
like this that mean that SORBS DUHL is not as useful as it could
be.

When the WHOIS contact for the IP allocation says it isn't dynamic
and servers are allowed then that should be enough.  SORBS could
keep the over-zealous listings for its other zones.
