I have never paid attention to it so... questions..

Was dsbl.org widely used?

In general, is it considered a major and necessary dnsbl tool for the war

Does anyone have any idea how much sustained bandwidth in and out that it
took to run the main dsbl.org host?

Just wondering if it might be worth throwing an some cold spare commercial
server hardware we have laying around at it...
