Thanks for your help with this!  I tried the dig commands you suggested and
the response times were very fast:
time dig tvuu.wneiis-planet.info.multi.surbl.org:

I tried running the spam in question through Spamassassin again and this
time it doesn't appear to have timed out, but it's still not identifying
this domain as being in the URIBLs.

Debug output:
<---snip---->

If I'm reading the dig output correctly, it isn't finding the
tvuu.wneiis-planet.info domain, although wneiis-planet.info is listed. But
from other posts on this list it's obvious that it is being correctly
flagged on other systems.  Is this an issue with SURBL or with Spamassassin?
If it's a problem with the way Spamassassin is extracting the URL's I'll
submit it to bugzilla, but I want to be sure I'm on the right track before I
do.

Thanks much for your help!

Sandy S.
