this will have the secondary effect of disallowing you to see web pages on those sites. E.g., you you define at your hosts file : spammer.com, you can't no more access the URL http://spammer.com/index.html, as this will resolve to 127.0.0.2 (e.g.).
In theory he could define spammer.com.a.surbl.test 127.0.0.2 and use a.surbl.test like say sc.surbl.org minus TXT records.
I'm not sure about the performance effects on small systems, my /etc/hosts is rather small (some "doubleclick" entries).
