Oh, I see what you mean. That's just speculative code - I was trying to
second-guess what the RBL people might do with IPv6 addresses. In the
couple of years since I wrote it, as far as I know, they have done
nothing about IPv6, and still only handle IPv4 addresses. So you can
ignore it.
[What I'm referring to is this: an incoming IPv4 call from a.b.c.d looks
up the domain d.c.b.a.rbl-domain; what do you do for an IPv6 call from
the host a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h? I guessed that you might reverse every hex
digit.]
