Seconded.
Maybe a few of us can all host a mirror, and just use round-robin DNS to balance the requests among all of us..
DDoS'ing one site is one thing, but when you have to launch a DDoS against 10-15 mirrors you tend to attract some attention (and it spreads the zombie "troops" a bit thin)..
This is all pending that we have enough mirrors to make a DDoS attack not worth it (meaning we need 10-15+ mirrors, not 2-3).. :)

A big thanks to all the public mirrors of SURBL! You are what keeps this running!!
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a rsyncable 'disposable' site that can be run under boa or something small, so in an instance such as this, one can simply switch the DNS on www.surbl.org (the TTL is low, right?) and move it somewhere else.
If you want me to host something, let me know. My upstreams are pretty good about blackholeing attacks and I can move stuff around IP blocks really easily and quickly.
