I'm not sure you understood me when I said rbldnsd wouldn't bind to
the loopback block. Here's some examples of the output:

-b 127.0.0.2/530
rbldnsd: unable to bind to 127.0.0.2/530: Can't assign requested address

-b 127.0.0.2
rbldnsd: unable to bind to 127.0.0.2: Can't assign requested address

-b 127.0.0.3/530
rbldnsd: unable to bind to 127.0.0.3/530: Can't assign requested address

... and so on.
Nothing else is bound to those IP's.
So like I said, the only difference between the two is the BIND version -
9.4 vs. 9.3. Which leads me to believe rbldnsd won't/doesn't
work the same on newer versions of BIND.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
