  I have a MS DNS server on the LAN which forwards queries to public DNS servers which is common practice. I created the following conditional forwarder rule for URIBL. I specified the root servers, as the forwarders, based on the info at the bottom of this article.

  

  My queries are still being blocked.

  Hello Jeff,

  I haven't tried setting up the forwarding of URIBL queries using root hints, but I will look into it.

  I noticed that the screenshot shows the domain as "dnswl.org".  Did you set up a separate conditional forwarder for "uribl.com" as well?

  Regards,
  Jared

  Thanks, Jared. I checked my conditional forwarder for uribl.com and it was not correct. I forgot to add the dot at the end of each entry.

  Example: a.root-servers.net.

  It seems to be working now.
