It's been ages since I played with DNS so I'm pretty fuzzy, but do you
actually have a host named rblserver.example.com?  Don't know that it
needs to be a separate box from your main dns, but it needs an a record
at the least.  You don't show enough of your configuration to know -
"All the A records" is a bit vague...
