I have my own local dnsbl (using wrblnsd). Certainly from the rbl end it
appears that Exim does in fact make 2 queries, but the TXT query is
unnecessary most of the time (when a lookup returns NXDOMAIN), so unless
your lookups are more than say 20% positive, it's hardly going to save much
bandwidth - my point being, is it worth the effort anyway ?

All the best
