You're right, I'm sure this is doable in some fashion. However there's a limit to how much I want to fool with a server's setup. Note that I'm using a VERY specialized RBL-only DNS daemon here (djbdns's rbldns) and that it only provides RBL data. Frankly this becomes less interesting the more complex it becomes. Really the use of a DNS based solution in this case is problematic. DNS based RBL really only makes sense when you are going to leverage the caching nature of the DNS network. That's not occurring here and I mainly was trying to use the type of system because packages for such daemons were readily available and it seemed like support for interfacing with it was already available in SA. Since that's not the case maybe I should instead consider some other more sensible approach for local host blacklisting.
