Works! All you need to do is add the multi.surbl.org ( or whatever list you want to use ) to the Host Search order. So that x.com is looked up as x.org.multi.surbl.org

Whatever DNS servers you are using at the time, should keep working + Caching.

I run this at a few places. Works well across a squid proxy, specially since u can then have a real page on the 127.0.0.x interface ( = the gateway machine's ) telling your users what happened.

Is this what you had in mind ?

VERY COOL! Thanks! Now if only I could get Win98 to actually listen to the search order! :)
