Hello,

I'm trying to setup a list which should run under the following
conditions:

  a) bind is serving mydomain.net zone on ns1/ns2.mydomain.net hosts.
  b) rbldnsd should serve dnsbl.mydomain.net zone on ns.dnsbl.mydomain.net
     host.
  c) Queries to dnsbl.mydomain.net zone should go directly to host
     ns.dnsbl.mydomain.net and not to ns1/ns2 where bind can forward them
     to rbldnsd.

As for my current knowledge of DNS, requesting dnsbl.mydomain.net directly
from ns.dnsbl.mydomain.net could be set up by delegating the blacklist
zone in the main mydomain.net zone file:

dnsbl    NS ns.dnsbl
ns.dnsbl A  123.45.67.89

But this way requires rbldnsd to answer NS queries.  According to
documentation, it doesn't.  Is it possible to fit the conditions above
with rbldnsd, or not?
