Chris,

my understanding is that ips which occurred in spam should be listed

if http://a.b.c.d/ was in a spam then a.b.c.d should be listed.

The reolsved ips of spammer domains which do not occur directly
in spam shouldn't be listed.

if http://some-spammer-domain.tld/ was in a spam and a.b.c.d is
the ip address of the domain, then some-spammer-domain.tld should
be listed while a.b.c.d should not.

NB: ips are listed in surbl in reverse octet format 
so if the ip is a.b.c.d then the listing should be like:

d.c.b.a.sc.surbl.org

John
