DNS List Rule
The
dnslist()
rule queries a public DNS List server that uses the DNSBL method (sometimes called
“ip4r lookups”) of querying. The IP address of the incoming connection is reversed (so an IP of 1.2.3.4
becomes 4.3.2.1) and then added as a prefix to the server name in the parenthesis (a period to separate
the two is added if the server name does not start with one). A DNS query is made, and the system is
returned with either a DNS failure response (indicating the connection's IP address was not found in the
server's list) or an IP address (indicating that the address was found). The IP address returned is usually
of the form

Like the
header()
rule,
dnslist()
can be used in either a unary or binary comparison. By itself, it
simply evaluates to
true
if a response is received and
false
if no response is received (for example, if
the DNS server is unreachable).
the following filter immediately delivers a message if the sender has been bonded with the Cisco Bonded
