Instead of running your own, it is definitely worth trying OpenDNS

maybe it's OT, but do you wonna really trust such an organisation?
Did you
notice that they filter results (they call it PhishTank[tm]). Do
you know
what's done with the statistics? Do they (may) use any technology
to make
their own phishing work well?
Not sure about the need for trust in DNS lookups, I can't think of
any reason
why they would be less trustworthy than any other DNS provider I choose.
Reliability is higher than provided by many ISPs. The Phishing filter
can be
turned off if desired. I assume they use the statistics to make
pretty charts,
and sell the data to different people who want it. There is no secure
or sensitive
data transferred in a DNS lookup so I have no reason to care.
