   http://tinydns.org/djbdns-1.05-ignoreip2.patch

This patch change djbdns's dnscache program so that it will ignore the
IP address given in the ignoreip file.  I wrote this patch because of
Verisign's oh-so helpful wildcard A record for *.COM and *.NET.

Configure it to ignore Verisign's wildcard record like this:
    echo 64.94.110.11 >/service/dnscache/root/ignoreip
    svc -t /service/dnscache

Configure it to ignore all the cretins like this:
awk '{print $2}' <<EOF >/service/dnscache/root/ignoreip
         *.ac            194.205.62.122
         *.cc            206.253.214.102
         *.com           64.94.110.11
         *.cx            219.88.106.80
         *.museum        195.7.77.20
         *.net           64.94.110.11
         *.nu            64.55.105.9
                   and   212.181.91.6
         *.ph            203.119.4.6
         *.sh            194.205.62.62
         *.tm            194.205.62.62
         *.ws            216.35.187.246
EOF
    svc -t /service/dnscache

If root/ignoreip is not present, no addresses will be ignored.
