[rbldnsd] rbldnsd setup and domain hoster

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to domain handling apart from the convenient web 
interface of our domain hoster, so please bear with my noob questions.
I managed to get rbldnsd running so that it returns our blacklist 
results with a dig command  but only when I specify the command with 
@ip_running_rbldnsd.
Obviously  rbldnsd is not registered as "public" DNS server and this is 
where my problem starts.

1. I would like to continue using the domain hosters webinterface for 
our regular domain management. The domain hoster supports registering 
and adding own DNS servers.
2. I would like to have rbldnsd to be authoritative for only our 
blacklist zone
3. How do I have to setup rbldnsd's zone file to answer to something 
like dnsbl.ourdomain.com and use this address for our blacklist lookups?

I read the manual pages of rbldnsd and some general stuff about DNS but 
still can't figure out how I have to setup this stuff. I also found some 
how-tos in combination with bind but I'd rather have only rbldnsd. An 
example how this has to be configured would be really appreciated. Many 
thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Thilo
