As I mentioned in a previous email I wanted to setup my own local (as in
on the same host as the SMTP daemon) RBL so checks would be real
snappy.  Unfortunately I find that I cannot use a local RBL with SA
because it (rightly for the most part) makes use of the standard
resolver logic which (since the server doesn't do it's own DNS normally)
ends up sending requests off to a DNS server on the network and
completely bypasses the local special purpose DNS daemon.  We need
another check_rbl_direct() (and correspondingly a supportive
do_rbl_lookup) which contacts the $rbl_domain directly.  This would
allow me to do such things as defining the $rbl_domain as an alias for
127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts and keeping the request completely local as
needed.

Anyone care to comment on what the chances are of a patch providing this
making it into a release?  I'm a one man band here and having to repatch
my installation each time Duncan releases a new deb would be a real pain
in the butt.
