It should be pointed out that DNSBLs, including domain specific
DNSBLs, use the *absence* of an A record as an indication that IP
address is ok.  Negative DNS responses are generally not cached

design decision on the part of DNSBLs, or just a result of it being
easier to create that way.


Both presence and absence of a record can be spoofed. Presence
is spoofed by the fake record itself, absence by a bogus CNAME.
