you miss the topic

many DNSBL's have a very short TTL and at the same time a limit of 
queries froma single IP until you need to pay for the service

so if you have a inbound MX and the RBL has 2 seconds TTL and a botnet 
is trying to deliver spam to you override the 2 scodn TTL with 90 
seconds or whatever makes sense reduces the total amount of DNS requests 
dramatically
