Then using thatrJ data and some statistics you can create an RBLRBL (Realtime Blackhole ListI Requestor Blackhole List) that RBLs can subscribe to to block requests to"F put addresses on their list that come from bad requestors.

I must add that the documentation for TCP/IP which comes with the VMS 7.3 docset far surpasses anything previously available.    E One example: The SEP-2000 TCP/IP manuals only references to BIND/DNS 0F simply direct you to TCPIP$CONFIG. In contrast the latest stuff tells F you what BIND/DNS actually does, describes the difference between the H various types of service available, and even directs you at an O'Reilly $ book on the subject. (On that, go to  H http://search.oreilly.com/cgi-bin/search?term=bind&category=All&pref=all  G and you can read the sample chapters from "DNS and BIND", 2nd, 3rd and  ( 4th editions. Very comprehensive stuff.)  E I would highly recommend that folks revisit the TCP/IP documentation  F available on www.openvms.compaq.com:8000/#tcpip . A lot of effort has H clearly gone into it - many thanks to whoever in Compaq was responsible! __

(Something ID don't digital/compaq has ever had, even under KO.)  I spent sometimeE yesterday looking into Pathworks, which is a licensed product, and it L occurred to me that if you were really interested in promoting VMS you wouldL do everything you could to make it accessible, and like it or not Windows isJ everywhere.  Since the client licensing appears to be free if I understood itJ correctly (Oh why can't they write clear language) it is only the VMS sideJ that is burdened.  I have a hunch that the increased revenues derived fromJ giving it away would far exceed that derived from licensing it, which only% acts as a deterrent to promoting VMS.b  J Speaking of KO, I sent a letter to him in the spring of '82.  At that timeK about 10% or slightly less of all VAXes were running BSD Unix.  I suggested K that they open up licensing of VMS to third parties, because Unix was goingbI to continue to make inroads. We were hoping to port it to the National 32S bitoL chip.
