There's no need to configure additional aliases in 127/8 range,
all 16777216 addresses in this range are directly available to
bind to for any program running on a linux box.  Just specify
127.0.0.4 (or whatever) in rbldnsd and bind configs and it will
work.  Not to say it will not work WITH this lo:4 alias, it's
just unnecessary - on linux anyway.  On other systems (eg
Solaris) you have to do something like the above (but it's
better still - IMHO - to do that in system *network* startup
scripts/configs, not rbldnsd one).

The rest looks ok.
