RBL ZA News archive

Phase 1 Phase 1

PHASE 1:

The first list of South African IP Address space is now live using the DNS name local.rbl.org.za. This list will confirm whether an IP is a South African IP or not. If you have any questions, please let us know.

The idea behind this list is to veryify whether a connection is being made locally or from an international source. Possible uses could include limiting connections from local IP's, used for statistics, special rules etc.

I've decided to just get a submission form going to start building the blacklist part of the DB. Will let you know when its up... This way we can atleast build a ZA base of unwanted addresses.

Flow Concept Diagram Flow Concept Diagram

I have put together a basic draft flow diagram on the registration and administration of IP Address space on RBL ZA. Have a look and you are welcome to provide comments if you are interested in supporting RBL ZA.

The diagram is large in display size and not file size, so its just a big diagram.

Backend Concept Testing Backend Concept Testing
I have been playing around with the rbl dns server with a couple of
defined lists. The next step is to setup a basic website to manage the
lists and users. With this all said and done, a great deal of time is
going to be needed on the documentation and help.

Slacker Slacker

Yup, I've been pretty slack on getting this service up and running.
Main reason for this is I haven't had much free time on my hands
lately. No to worry I'll be back soon. In the mean time I'm looking for
interested parties to offer some of their time to help complete this
project.
