"Local".  That means not on the network.  127.0.0.1:53.  As noted in my
previous email that is the IP in /etc/hosts for
rbl.mail.premiernet.net.  That was simply a way for the RBL to have a
bit more expressive suffix than localhost.  This is not a seperate
server, just a process on the mail server itself.

Now perhaps I'm missing something, but as I understand the DNS system
when my mail server wants something resolved and it's not in the
resolver's local cache it asks one of it's configured DNS servers for
the answer.  If that DNS server doesn't already know the answer IT (in
other words the DNS server) works it's way up the DNS tree.  The problem
here is that, as far as I can tell, there is no situation here where the
mail server is going to ask itself for the answer.  No matter how I
configure my DNS server.  And yes I've tried.
