Thanks.  That fixed the trouble with lookup of the RBL zones.  Thank you for
explaining how DNSBL records work.

Is there a way that I can configure rbldnsd to forward any other requests for
dns resolution to another server?

   10.0.0.0/8    :127.0.0.1
(note the colon)

Try asking for
   1.1.168.192.your.blocklist.domain.name A   IN record, instead of
   1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa               PTR IN

Yes, you completely missed the whole story about how a DNSBL works... ;)
