I believe an example will be much more useful than an explanation, so here
goes one. This is the zone file for dul.maps.vix.com (a dial-up list):
//-----
$ORIGIN maps.vix.com.
dul 300 IN SOA maps1.pa.vix.com. dul.mail-abuse.org. (
973642140 600 300 604800 300 )
518400 IN NS ns-ext.vix.com.
518400 IN NS ns.eu.net.
518400 IN NS max.bungi.com.
518400 IN NS ns3.above.net.
518400 IN NS auth2.dns.gxn.net.
518400 IN NS nn.uninett.no.
518400 IN NS freesbee.wheel.dk.
518400 IN NS bifrost.seastrom.com.
300 IN MX 5 mail-abuse.org.
300 IN TXT "Copyright 2000 Mail Abuse Prevention System, LL
C."
$ORIGIN 66.66.127.dul.maps.vix.com.
66 300 IN TXT "See <URL:http://mail-abuse.org/dul/>"
300 IN A 127.0.0.3
//-----
So - as you can see, this is just another DNS zone. To create a custom one
you just invent a name, say maps.mydomain.com and set SOA, NS and MX stuff
for it - just as above. Then you just reverse IP addresses of the hosts you
want to blackhole and add A (and, which is encouraged, TXT records) for them.
As a simple example - should you want to blackhole my humble primary MX
which is skipper.rmf.pl, 195.117.15.34, you would simply add a line like:
34.15.117.195 IN A 127.0.0.4
34.15.117.195 IN TXT "I don't like this guy."
to zone file. That's it. I guess :)
