it still exists (same ASN, different bgp peer address) as a commercial
service now operated by Trend Micro. noncommercial alternatives exist,
considering here the Spamhaus and Cymru offerings. (i regret that i
was unable to continue the service noncommercially, but lawyers are
expensive, and volunteers burn out faster than employees, and so on.)

fun. perhaps i'll stop getting 100+ queries per second to the nameservers
of rbl.maps.vix.com some day before i die, now that google is on my side.

i think Spamhaus and Cymru are way ahead of you in implementing such a thing,
and it's likely that there are even commercial alternatives to Trend Micro
although i have not kept up on those details.
