[Pdns-users] pdns as malware interceptor

Has anyone tested in using pdns as a malware interceptor?

There are large lists of known malware domains. But has someone actually
tested a combined forwarder + authorative server?

The concept is that the server is authorative for malware domains and
will direct you to a honeypot machine (preferably single box with pdns,
honeypot, ....). For all other domains it should be a forwarding DNS.

Given the large amount of malware domains available today on CERT
websites the server will be authorative for perhaps as many as 10^6 or
more domains.

I think it should not be too big a hastle to build a box for this
purpose to catch stray malware on a campus or something like that.
