Um, rbldns /is/ a separate RBL server.

Well, I too run my own private RBL list, and it's really very simple
(and efficient, since I send fewer queries out on my ISP link overall
than if I used my ISP's own servers for resolution).

Here's what I did, leaving out the rbldns part that you've already done,
and using stuff that you already have installed:

[1] Set up a local dnscache <http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache.html> on,
    say, 127.0.0.2.

[2] Tell dnscache to send queries for the rbl.mail.premiernet.net domain
    to your rbldns server:

    # echo 127.0.0.1 > /service/dnscache/root/servers/rbl.mail.premiernet.net

[3] Restart dnscache:

    # svc -t /service/dnscache

Et voila!

(Incidentally, since you're using djbdns, you might want to revisit
cr.yp.to -- DJB's just revamped the documentation thereof.)
