Seeking help on anti-spam project

My apologies for being slightly off-topic, but the project I'm writing 
about (WPBL - see www.wpbl.info) is powered mostly by spamprobe and some 
list members already help us out. The project is totally non commercial.

WPBL is a real time list of IP addresses that are currently sending us spam 
(a lot like the CBL project). The list is very dynamic and internet hosts 
around the world ranging from small servers to very major ISPs want to pull 
our data. The challenge is serving this list with limited resources :(

I recently set up a DNSBL service, which uses (simplified) DNS software to 
answer queries. Our existing 3 nameservers answer about 130,000 queries per 
day in total but the load is guaranteed to rise. So I am seeking your help! 
This is a perfect place for co-operation, as in parallel we could serve a 
tremendous load even from relatively weak hosts. You would need:

- Static IP (DHCP that lasts a month is ok) on a Linux/UNIX host with root
- Will only use 10 MB/day total data transfer! Trivial bandwidth.
- You're in a pool (ns1, ns2, ns3, ...) so downtime is ok
- Open source rbldnsd software, safe, solid, very efficient DNSBL server
	(used by many ISPs, runs chroot, reduced privileges)
- The software uses < 1 MB of RAM, nil CPU
- You would have to rsync to me every 30 minutes, transfers < 20 KB each
- Easy to setup and revoke it any time!

If you have a host from which you could serve UDP port 53 (DNS) traffic, 
please let me know. Resource demands on your node are practically nil for 
the forseeable future.

Please let me know if you have a host that could serve. Setup should take 
half an hour and I can also help by telephone, if desired.
