Some people might find this useful. I'd be interested to know if there's a more complete list out there.

Why are there IPs in a DNS hosts file? That’s not how those work, even for Pi-hole, unless something’s changed in recent years.

There are tools that will parse and do the needful with a 'mixed' (i.e., containing both domains and IP addresses/CIDR blocks) feed.

Which tools? AFAICT, this is targeted towards Pi-hole, which last I checked, didn't but things change. Thanks for any info.

I ask this because I'm working on my own tools and would like to take a look at existing implementations, if they exist.

pfBlockerNG (on pfSense) does. But you need to specify the feed in both places—i.e., as an IP feed and a DNSBL feed—though.

So technically 'parsers', plural.

Awesome, never even heard of pfBlockerNG. I'll take a look. Thank you!

Pihole _should_ filter these out, but I assume it's not a pihole-specific list. (alternately, the author is just confused)

Thanks i might setup it later!
