If you want to guide this dummy on how to run a local resolver like that, I'd appreciate the tips. :) I was trying to get out of the DNS business but if I want to do any local DNSBL querying, I guess I have to reconsider that. In the meantime, is it bad vibes to query Spamhaus directly against a.gns.spamhaus.org - e.gns.spamhaus.org? What kind of query level might invite blocking?
