I try not to be too concerned with people who decided to go with a RH
installation. They're grownups, even if their choice of OS wasn't a good one.

*positive* result on the test. How is that possible if the list isn't
there?
Well, for a while there, the DNS zone still existed, and it matched
wildcard for *WORLD*. AFAIK, it still does, but at last check, there were
several key backbone providers who were blocking traffic to and from the
domain just to thwart lookups against it. Obviously, your provider does
not - do a whois of the domain and try to ping any of the listed DNS
servers - if you can reach them, you're capable of doing lookups that many
others cannot.
Whether that's a good thing or not is another matter - frankly, I'm none
too keen with backbone providers screwing with traffic, but this isn't the
first time it's happened - when an abovenet mail server ended up on a DNSBL
(legitimatley), above.net opted to block all traffic to the entire subnet
where the DNSBL was hosted.
