Hello, and thank you for your reply.

Quite so, and I have that as part of my rc.conf.
Of course I also have the following:
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0". :)
But unfortunately, I'm still not having any success w/rbldnsd.
All queries return REFUSED.

Thanks again for your reply.
