Check your /etc/resolv.conf. Are there *any* DNS servers in there other than the cacheserver that forwards to rbldnsd? SpamAssassin has a strong tendency to use the "first working" DNS server it finds for all of its queries. So if there are multiple entries in resolv.conf, SA could be using a server other than your cacheserver, unless ALL of the listed servers perform forwarding.
