The added a /21 of static IPs probably because some Windows Loser doesn't
know how to keep their machine virus free.
no, they added it because the dns records indicated that it was probably
dynamic. probably triggered by virus or spam as you suggest.
they de-listed it when shown evidence by the owner that it was
statically allocated.
so...what, exactly, is your problem with this scenario? looks like the
DUL working exactly as designed and exactly as documented.
You asked for proof of the baby being thrown out with the bath water.
I provided one. A /21 listed as being dynamic and then being delisted 17
days later because it was really static. (and from the ARIN rwhois - NON
PORTABLE)
SORBS caused a problem for others and refused to quickly fix it.
DUHL is supposed to be a list of dynamic addresses, if an address is
clearly not dynamic it should quickly be removed from the list.
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=steveredlich.com
Shows a domain at this IP for over four years. My Colo Box doesn't even
pass this test. That hosting company moved to a different datacenter a
year +1/2 ago.
Even if my IP was hosting spam services and sending spam, it would
belong in the spammers rbl. not the dynamic rbl.
It's clearly non-dynamic. It doesn't belong on a dynamic list.
SORBS DUHL lists both dynamic and static IP addresses. They ignore
notifications of listing errors. QED
It should be clear by now. Don't use SORBS.
