Is it possible to block resolution of a malware address?

We typically override malware-ish domains's by creating a zone on our
caching servers for them and create a wildcard similar to:

*	IN	A	127.0.0.1

That way, when clients try to resolve xyz.com, our caching/resolvers
return 127.0.0.1, not the real IP address.

That is, if we know that a symbolic address is malign, is there some way
to 
refuse to resolve it or change its resolution when an internal users
asks for 
its resolution?

All my Google searching turns up DNSBLs and blocking incoming mail from
BLed 
addresses, but this is another matter...

Thanks in advance...
