and change resolve.conf to 127.0.0.1 for the best RBL performance.

How much effective performance difference does the loopback interface (lo) vs the local LAN interface (eth0) make?

Similarly, how much effective performance difference does an on host instance of BIND make vs across the LAN to another host in the same site make?

I absolutely agree that a /local/ /to/ /the/ /network/ caching DNS server is a boon for email.  --  Definitely avoid simply relying on big 3rd party resolvers across the Internet.

Agreed on the OT and good subject change.

For me, I wouldn't bind DNS to the eth0, just another attack surface hence I would use local loopback.

Having a DNS on the lan is good too but caching on any mail server is good.  There are a lot of DNS queries for email and anti-spam.

But the key takeaway is don't use something like quad-8.
