Hi,

Please, I've got bind9 up and running (easily), but I still can't get RPZ
to work. Here's my file:

; File Name: /etc/bind/master/db.tms2sd
; Ref: http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/cur/9.9/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html
$TTL 1h
@       SOA nonexistent.nodomain.none. dummy.nodomain.none. 1 12h 15m 3w 2h
         NS  nonexistant.nodomain.none.

webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com CNAME dd.schedulesdirect.org.

And it's referenced like this:

...
zone "tms2sd" {
     type master;
     file "/etc/bind/db.tms2sd";
};

And in my options section, I added:

...
     recursion true;
     allow-recursion {192.168.1/24;};
     response-policy {zone "tms2sd";};
     allow-transfer {none;};
     allow-update {none;};
...

But when I ping webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com, it still goes
to the old TMS-SD address.

Yes, here's the Wiki. I'll (and anyone else) try to keep it up
to date: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Schedules_Direct_Replacement_Service
The address (right now) is: 54.85.117.227 and this one isn't
expected to change.

Perfect, I'd like to at least get mine to work and add a
few RPZ hints to the Wiki. [not a full blown tutorial]
