They started a spite listing list called the DBL where they routinely
list things that have no business being listed (ie: well run services
not emitting spam), except that the operators of Spamhaus don't like
them. Call that what you like, I call it network abuse. They have
become the thing they claim to despise.

That's wrong for them to do, in any event.

You don't need a recursive server to serve authoritatively. That's
what's meant by being authoritative. You don't look up the infomation
elsewhere.
I believe the issue is you're recursive for everyone, and not just your
own users. You need to run a recursive service for yourself, but you
don't want to let the Internet at large to make use of it.
Forgive me if there was something in that PDF I should have read (I
glanced at it). My eyes (and various other parts of me) are itching
like there's no tomorrow, and I'm having to use them judiciously.
