I considered adding a new rule keyword for this.  My thoughts were that we
already have a lot of different rule types, and in reality this is the same
kind of RHSBL-lookup mechanism -- just with a different selection of what to
query.  Hence a tflag was more appropriate.


Regarding the IP mask -- 0x7f000100 was chosen since initial plans were to
return 127.0.0.2 for the "don't do that" listings for IP addresses.  That would
not match those, instead matching solely the 127.0.1.2 "real" listings.  Since
then, though, Spamhaus have instead gone with using 127.0.1.255, which is in
the 127.0.1.x space, rendering that attempt futile.

We could therefore now just use 2 as the mask for the URIBL_DBL rule, with the
same effect and causing less confusion.  devs, thoughts?
