An old wish: Have some protocol to enable queries like "return all

We'd only have to issue more than 65536 of those to check our space ;-)
Maybe you should donate some of that space ;-)
Yes, something like that would be nice and I don't think too many DNSBL
operators would object (at least in theory). Some DNSBLs offer by-email
notification. Others might want to, but don't for whatever reason.
Thinking a bit further, such a "range query" is not only a nice to have,
but pure necessity in IPv6-land, where you will hardly ever will want to
deal with individual IP addresses, but with - what is the current
smallest customer allocation? /64? - /64s.
However:
1) The BCP is a wrong place to describe a protocol for that.
ACK.
Maybe it's time to start experimenting with some kind of an "IPv6
reputation protocol". The more I think about it, the less I'm convinced
that we can (or should) simply continue using the IPv4 approach.
