I'd rather catch all of foo.co.uk. If they were a real spammer domain we should hose them entirely.

Possible, but very unlikely case. Legitimate domains generally aren't going to have large, abusive subdomains. Redirection sites can't really be listed for some of the reasons mentioned in the previous message. However purely spam redirection sites could be listed.
RBL Hit 2nd level wildcard URL: http://bad.viagra.spammer.biz DNS Query: viagra.spammer.biz Server Record: *.spammer.biz Result: 127.0.0.2
I'd rather hit all of spammer.biz .
In my simplistic view of the world, wildcards don't buy us much. A base domain is either legitimate or it isn't.
