we can consider DNSBLs as sources of reputation reports
If you consider a "table" a "chicken" you can claim a table lays
eggs but the benefits for doing this escape me...
DNSBLs are blacklists and usually have strict criteia for being
blacklisted. Trust is fudgy, it's not the black and white answer
that a DNSBL gives you.
Granted that DNSBLs aren't currently as granular as you may like. But
that's because people simply haven't asked for it, not because of built-in
limitations. There are 2^24 (over 16 million) addresses between
127.0.0.0 and 127.255.255.255 that a DNSBL can return. Is that granular
enough for you?
