After looking at the README another time, I figured it out. Turns out
"a.b.c.d" is a _number_, not text. So,

# if IP a.b.c.d is positive, then nslookup of d.c.b.a.dnsbl.sorbs.net 
# returns 127.0.0.10
dnsrbl "SORBS DUN" dnsbl.sorbs.net 127.0.0.10

Could be better explained:

# if IP number 1.2.3.4 is positive, then nslookup of "4.3.2.1.dnsbl.sorbs.net" 
# returns 127.0.0.10
dnsrbl "SORBS DUN" dnsbl.sorbs.net 127.0.0.10
acl greylist dnsrbl "SORBS DUN"

Then looking at the http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/index.lasso project, I came up with:

dnsrbl "spamhaus" zen.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.2
acl greylist dnsrbl "spamhaus" delay 24h autowhite 3d
