Debian rbldnsd package notes ============================ Socket activation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Socket activation is disabled by default in the service unit file, but it can be enabled manually: systemctl disable rbldnsd.service systemctl stop rbldnsd.service systemctl start rbldnsd.socket systemctl enable rbldnsd.socket If socket activation is used then the -b command line parameter will be ignored. Multiple instances ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Multiple instances of rbldnsd can be configured as usual in /etc/default/rbldnsd, but then each parametrized unit must be enabled: systemctl enable rbldnsd@mydnsbl systemctl start rbldnsd@mydnsbl
