As far as I can tell, this doesn't actually matter for the diagnostics
page (which gets caught at an earlier stage of the handling process)
or even in general (the BL lookup happens and returns NXDOMAIN, and
the access is permitted). I presume however that Tom is substituting
"somethingrandom" instead of revealing his unique key... (?) It just
has to be the right length (as "somethingrandom" isn't) otherwise
"apachectl -t" gives the following, which Tom would probably have
spotted -

 The HTTPBLAccessKey you entered is an invalid length (your access
 key value length: 15 characters; required length: 12 characters).
 Please use a valid RBL access key.

Tom, are you accessing /httpbl_diagnostics/ or /httpbl_diagnostics ?
I've noticed that the latter just doesn't work (404) on my systems.

Can you report your APR version and which version of the httpBL
source you're using?

You shouldn't need the HTTPBLLogDir directive unless you've compiled
mod_httpbl with debug on. However, I'd guess that the problem you're
seeing is because /var/log/httpd is a soft link to somewhere else;
remove the trailing "/" - does that improve matters? Apache seems
to complain if you refer to a target directory slink with a trailing
slash.

If we can't figure what's causing your 404, it might be worth turning
on that debug/log option... (#define VERBOSITY ...)

James
