FYI - ahbl.org and BIND DNS errors

Per http://ahbl.org/content/changes-ahbl, AHBL is going away (still used 
in spamassassin-3.3.1)

Meanwhile, AHBL is serving strange DNS responses, e.g.
(from wireshark)

   1   0.000000 142.90.100.186 -> 162.243.209.249 DNS 93 Standard query 0xc828  A zuz.rhsbl.ahbl.org
   2   0.072481 162.243.209.249 -> 142.90.100.186 DNS 246 Standard query response 0xc828
     Authoritative nameservers
         rhsbl.ahbl.org: type NS, class IN, ns invalid.ahbl.org
         rhsbl.ahbl.org: type NS, class IN, ns unresponsive.ahbl.org
         rhsbl.ahbl.org: type NS, class IN, ns unresponsive2.ahbl.org
             Name Server: unresponsive2.ahbl.org
     Additional records
         invalid.ahbl.org: type A, class IN, addr 244.254.254.254
             Addr: 244.254.254.254 (244.254.254.254)
         unresponsive.ahbl.org: type A, class IN, addr 10.230.230.230
             Addr: 10.230.230.230 (10.230.230.230)
         unresponsive2.ahbl.org: type A, class IN, addr 192.168.230.230
             Addr: 192.168.230.230 (192.168.230.230)
         invalid.ahbl.org: type AAAA, class IN, addr fe80::
             Addr: fe80::

This last one, fe80::, is an IPv6 scope-link address that causes the BIND 
nameserver to log a weird error
named[31365]: socket.c:4373: unexpected error:
named[31365]: 22/Invalid argument
Per http://www.mail-archive.com/bind-users@lists.isc.org/msg05240.html
connect() fails as it is missing scoping information.

Umm, with a name like "invalid.ahbl.org" what do you expect? That's 
truth in advertising. It's 'invalid', as a matter of fact all of those
addresses aren't usable, they're either RFC-1918 or multicast/local-scope.
So none of those are valid for remote queries.

Do NOT use rhsbl.ahbl.org. period. end of song.

ahbl.org was removed from SA many moons ago...
