rosedb will scale, dnsproxy may (if you have a good link to the
original nameserver), and may not (if the original nameserver is
slow),
as it's synchronous. There's someone who has a similar use case to
yours and is making the dnsproxy asynchronous.

That sounds like a filtering use case to me, rosedb and dnsproxy
should be a good fit.
There are a few gotchas with the rosedb (e.g. no automatic DNSSEC),
but you probably know that.
