I dont see the problem listsing them inside a SURBL. The extra few kb it 
will take on the nameservers ? For me i would like to put the preassure on 
DNS, not on every single box that has to do expression lookups, those will 
cost a lot more CPU... Most of the times its not the nameservers that cant 
keep up, but the mailboxes...

Yes. Let me know when i should start slaving them. Same applies for the 
rsync... 

Bye,
