We conform to the modern usage of "blacklist". In Google search,
"blacklist" appears 45 million times, "black list", 7 million.

Yes, I'm aware that we're using "block", not "black", for the variable
name, but keep in mind that we're using "block" as a drop-in replacement
for "black". And the newer "blocklist" has a puny 1 million appearances
to "blacklist"'s 45.

### Tools for Exploring Log Files
To generate log files on, say, ns-aws:
```zsh
sudo journalctl -u sslip.io-dns -S yesterday > /tmp/sslip.io.log
```
A file which I subsequently copy to my Mac (warning: uses BSD-variant of tools
like `sed`, so you may need to tweak the following commands if you're on Linux):
[I use `cut` instead of `awk` because it's twice as fast (9.11s instead of 22.56s)]
To find the domains queried (95% sslip.io):
```zsh
# find all successful queries of A & AAAA records
grep -v '\. \? nil' < sslip.io.log |\
egrep "TypeA | TypeAAAA " |\
cut -d " " -f 10 > /tmp/hosts.log
sed -E 's=.*(\.[^.]+\.[^.]+\.$)=\1=' < hosts.log | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
```
```zsh
# find the most looked-up IP addresses using the above hosts.log
sort < /tmp/hosts.log | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -50
```
