This is exactly the stuff I rewrote inside the check function. Its the exact opposite of whats needed to be done if you can use any of these results to 'block' without needing any other scores.

I run all the rbl lookups and then wait for the results to come back. If we get a block/hit we return without running anymore rules. This gave us a large performance boost in a server environment since we can eliminate rules that are essentially ignored early on. There are better things to do with the cpu.
