The host www.dsbl.org is having hardware issues, and the ISP that gave
it free hosting has seen enough internal changes that the staff who made
the arrangments are no longer there to help out.

So, as of early AM (US/Eastern) Monday, www.dsbl.org is down and the
RBL is not getting updated. While the DNS servers are, as far as I know,
still up and running, the data is getting somewhat stale.

It may be prudent to disable dsbl.org lookups until the situation is
resolved. If you are using SpamHaus Zen, the additional benefit of
DSBL is very low. You could choose to discontinue using DSBL entirely.

[ In my case, out of 756195 RBL hits in 11 hours, using a combined
  SpamHaus Zen/DSBL zone, 1637 were DSBL-only and 710786 were Zen-only. So
  DSBL matched just 6% of the combined volume and added only 0.2% of the
  hits because 96% of DSBL hits are also Zen hits ]
