I remember when folks grumbled that downloading the hosts file
(eg. /etc/hosts) from sri-nic once a week was starting to get
ridiculous.

I wonder if this zone is encoded as well as it could be.  The whole
SPEWS listing as a text file of ascii CIDR format entries is only 1
MByte uncompressed and 80k Bytes gzip-ed.  (Thats 14,000 CIDR entries.)

SPEWS is a much faster to list, and has a much more hard-nosed
delisting policy.  I'd expect their list to be much larger.
