Hi Jason.

I'm doing something similar myself, although it looks like you've gone 
one step further with the inclusion of wildcards (i.e. "*") in the RPZ?

The other notable difference in my case is that my RPZ results in 
NXDOMAIN (i.e. same as suggested by Evan Hunt) rather than returning a 
bogus IP address.

FWIW I haven't experienced any issues with youtube, so I wonder whether 
one of these differences could be the cause of your CPU usage issue?

Nick.
