Yes, I could do that, but isn't the point of using rbldnsd that it is 
faster and lighter (less memory) than Bind.  One could also use bind to 
serve spam rbls instead of using rbldnsd.

That gives me an idea though.  I wonder if Bind is better/faster at 
serving cached DNS records as opposed to authoritative zones?

Thanks,
