OT: Rbldnsd and Spamhaus setup

I'm configuring my servers to use Spamhaus datafeed service and I'm not
convinced that MailScanner is using Rbldnsd as I still see queries to
zen.spamhaus.org in the data queries log file.
I though perhaps the queries might have been from spamassassin, so I set
"skip_rbl_checks 1" in the mailscanner.cf and restarted MailScanner. I
still had DNS queries appearing in the bind log file.
I need another set of eyes to look at this config and tell me what I'm
missing.
Running: Centos 5.0, MailScanner v4.62.9
/etc/sysconfig/rbldnsd:
# the first line tells rbldnsd to
# chroot (-r) to /usr/local/dnsbl, and
# then bind (-b) to 127.0.0.6 and
# then (-f) fork child during reloads and
# then (-w) specify the working directory where rbldnsd will find its
files,
RBLDNSD="dnsbl -r /usr/local/dnsbl -b 127.0.0.6 -f -w rbldnsd \
sbl.dnsbl:ip4set:sbl \
pbl.dnsbl:ip4trie:pbl \
xbl.dnsbl:ip4tset:xbl \
zen.dnsbl:ip4set:sbl \
zen.dnsbl:ip4trie:pbl \
zen.dnsbl:ip4tset:xbl
"
# eof
/etc/named.conf:
zone "dnsbl" IN {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 127.0.0.6; };
};
/etc/MailScanner/spam.lists.conf:
spamhaus-ZEN-local dnsbl. <=== trailing period
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Spam List = spamhaus-ZEN-local
service rbldnsd restart
MailScanner --lint > show ok
service MailScanner restart
thanks
