As a test only ( I honestly did remove the files after testing )
I modified the script, and added all countries ISO code, yup blocked the planet.
In turn the script does download all zone files. Put script back to normal *ISO="af cn kr" * Temporarily I moved them to /var/zones directory edited script again, from ISO="af cn kr" to ISO="de" from DLROOT="*http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/data/countries*" to DLROOT="*/var/zones*" runscript and it does seek out the files in /var/zones So It does work from a local directory as well Dave M
