Thanks for the advice guys.

I've got named up and running and so far I think its caching the DNS 
requests (well its serving them OK).

I'm not really going to see the benefits of this on SpamAassassin till 
its database is full of requests is their anywhere (i.e. 
root-servers.net) that I can get a bind file which reduced this time period?

Cheers
Richard
