Could work... you'd have to have a reliable source of new info tho, and given that the phishers are already using zombies there's a good chance they'd just retaliate by flooding your source of fishing site url's with bogus urls. That is -- urls to pages that exist, but that don't fill their database. You'd have to figure out a good way to get lots of consistently good urls and at the same time prevent the phishers from flooding the list.
