What about making your local nameserver authoritative for the rbl domain you're using, and replacing your nameserver with 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf? I use my own nameservers on every connection I use, including my dsl at home. That way, I maintain complete control over what I'm looking up, I can clear the cache when I want to instead of waiting for an outdated RR to expire, etc.
I'm sure there's a way you could do it - maybe I'll play with it tonight. I've been dealing with dns servers for a few years, but don't have much experience with the blacklist variety. Which blacklist are you using?
