I strongly advise you to install a caching DNS server and using a few RBLs.

Just a minor nit: It's not the "caching" part that's important here, it's the "not forwarding" part. If you set up a caching DNS server that just forwards to your ISP's DNS servers, you haven't addressed the "BL blocked due to query volume" problem.
