rbldnsd and bind

[Ken Anderson (Pacific Internet)]

Thanks!
Yes, I see I'd need to add another load_resolver function to Dns.pm and 
change EvalTests.pm in SpamAssassin to call the new load_resolver 
function for the rbls that rbldnsd is serving locally on a different 
port. It would work, but alas, I think the antispam game is too fluid 
these days to make changes to the SA code that I'd have to duplicate 
with every new revision.
Thanks,
Ken A
