The fact of the matter is that the ISP's have begun to put "blackholes" in place. I'm seeing most of the clients as "dead" since the controller machines in Sweden are being prevented from recieving the client traffic from many ISPs.

The clients do not cache the target list, they must speak to the controller.

Also, it appears that the hand washing claim is suspect at best. There's some evidence out there that suggest this is an automated feed from one of the big SPAM Black Lists.
