Chris Pollock noticed that the plugin gives less accurate results than the
procmail recipe by Karsten M. Self (see links in comment #1), and I've also seen
a number of "non-responses" in my own corpus. 

The procmail recipe uses host(1) with "-R 10" (ten retries upon failure) which
is pretty aggressive but gives more accurate results. 

One possible solution is to set up a local mirror of the asn.routeviews.org zone
using the data from ftp://ftp.routeviews.org/dnszones/. However this data is not
available through rsync (which increases bandwidth) and only in BIND format
(which results in enormous memory consumption). [I just asked them if they would
offer them.]

The second possible solution is to not use SA's check_rbl_text() but do direct
queries from within the plugin using Net::DNS with appropriate retries etc. 

Would that be acceptable? Is it necessary to do async lookups or are the plugins
themselves called asynchronously?
