right - but for a setup where u want to filter by country, setting up a 
different zone file for each country and keeping it up to date is far 
more complex than powerdns' solution. BUT it is definitely an option 
I'll keep in mind (periodically generating the zones based on the data 
from RIR) in case i need to use bind for other reasons.

thanks!
