  Granted that DNSBLs aren't currently as granular as you may like.  But
that's because people simply haven't asked for it, not because of built-in 
limitations.  There are 2^24 (over 16 million) addresses between
127.0.0.0 and 127.255.255.255 that a DNSBL can return.  Is that granular
enough for you?
