Hi Alex,

There are various "Multi-RBL" Checkers out there -- what do you
ant to check exactly?

For instance:

 http://www.robtex.com/rbls.html
 http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

...etc.

But if you are looking for what gets "black-listed" with the
various content proxy-cache systems, then it is more an issue
of what each individual organization decides it's policy will
be on "acceptable" content.

Companies like WebSense, SurfControl, etc., do nothing more than
categorize content, and allow the implementing organizations that
use their product(s) to determine how/why to block|allow.
