My only question is... where are you going to put all those rules?
I remember having a terrible time with a reverse that went back to
500+ domains my DNS kept timing out before I could get to the bottom
of the list.
Should you or could you put a limit on the number of domains?
And if you did, where would you put the extra?
This is why I went with the CIDR idea when we did SPF. You can have
1000 domains pointing at the same IP all owned by the same guy AND be
legit.
In this case wouldn't it be better to put in an IP?
