#### Quering

The individual configured servers and their status are represented by a **gauge**:

```sh
luzilla_rbls_ips_blacklisted{hostname="mail.gmx.net",ip="212.227.17.168",rbl="ix.dnsbl.manitu.net"} 0
```

This represent the server's hostname and the DNSBL in question. `0` for unlisted and `1` for listed. Requests to the DNSBL happen in real-time and are not cached. Take this into account and use accordingly.

### Caveat
