We've made a list of the top SURBL DNS queries into my name server:
http://www.surbl.org/dns-queries.counts.txt
and a version with only whitelist hits:
Would it be possible to hard code a "SKIP" for certain URLs?
175 yahoo.com 157 w3.org 87 msn.com 77 flowgo.com
Why have the code even bother to check those? Sort of like a
permanent hard
coded Whitelist. (Bah, Skiplist! I have to stop calling it a
whitelist!)
This would save traffic.
Just a thought.

Yes, Theo proposed exactly such a thing for SA. The top ones should be fairly stable, and also offer the greatest reduction in queries.
*cough* great minds..... *cough* :)
SpamCopURI comes with a local whitelist. Eric could we ask you to grab some of these, populate that list in future versions and make it live? The hooks are already there; we just need to use them, and the top whitelist hits would be really useful.
Does this local skiplist ;) just ignore the link, or does it look it up in the local? What I'm getting at is if there are 21 links, should these even be counted as on of the random 20?
Actually I think I'm splitting hairs here.
