Here's a snippet from /etc/bind/named.conf.local to forward DNSBL
queries to rbldnsd from within BIND:

zone "dnsbl.example.com" IN {
        type forward;
        forward first;
        forwarders {
        127.0.0.1 port 8053;
        };
};

Set rbldnsd to listen on port 8053 on 127.0.0.1 (loopback), configure it
to answer queries for dnsbl.example.com, and the config fragment above
should work for you.

I'm using Ubuntu; add that snippet to whatever your OS interprets as
named.conf; if you're not using BIND, I can't help :)
