Chuck, Your most efficient option would be to run your own DNS server. Then YOU control the query volumes, and no longer rely on AT&T.

JunkMail Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Nameserver issues and Spam fighting With the increase in people trying to fight spam, nameservers are getting bombarded with lookup request. Recently I understand that AT&T has taken steps to not allow lookups of most of the blacklists using their network. It seems that we are seeing more and more DNS timeouts which result in more spam getting through. Anyone else perceive this as a problem that will only get worse? Anyone have any suggestions to make the DNS lookup process more efficient? It would be nice feature if we could bypass some of the DNS lookups if the email scored over a certain amount which would allow some of the email to bypass the lookups thereby reducing the load.
