As I tried to say in the past, having a value to return for all

black/whitelist providers.  Enough that it's looking like it'll be done
whether the ASRG likes it or not.  If you'd prefer something other than
127.0.0.1 to be used, document it somewhere.

As I've said more than once, there are two methods of doing it documented already that are preferable to listing the world:

- return TEST NET DNS server addresses, OR
- return something outside of 127.0.0.0/8

The first one has the advantage of doing something useful EVEN IF the DNSBL client has never heard of RFC6471.
