spohr is already running a nameserver, so it would have to run on an
alternate port. I havn't looked into how hard it would be to convice
spamassassin to use something like this.

spamscan is single-threaded, and the latency of DNSBL lookups is the
main delay. We have less than 1 second to process each message on
average. Any good recomendations for a perl inter-process
communications library? Once it becomes multi-threaded CPU usage
could become an issue, especially if we upgrade to spamassassin 3.
