Hey Daniel,
they do, same group of people I believe but two different
companies, or LLC's, whatever... :-) I don't believe they
will let you do zone transfers without at least signing some
type of agreement and even then you might have to pay them,
but that might only be for their new one server combined
lookup service. I would just patch the rblsmtpd and use their
server for open relay blocking, I personally use rbldns just
for my own list of spammers that I have been accumulating. If
you want to run it in addition to dnscache, I'd just set it to
run on another address and add another line to resolv.conf.
You could always add a private address to your server's NIC,
like 192.168.0.1 or something and run it on there.

Yeah, I saw it! :o)

Where would I get these records? Am I able to do an 'axfrdns' on relay
zones from mail-abuse.org? Should I configure a secondary zone for it?

But I already have a dnscache on localhost!

Thanks for your help.
