Ok, so I see your point, now do you mind if I restate it?


Seems like the question isn't how many hits there are on the RPZ(s), but
what the impact overall is on checking these other zones.


FTR, in a SOHO environment running several RPZs (at least one extremely
large) with various disposition rules (which I wouldn't expect to matter)
in a purely caching resolver..  impact is nil.

BTW, modern "the internet is the web" reality is that a lot more than "a
couple" of DNS lookups occur for practically anything. I'm not seeing any
latency... except for self-inflicted things where I'm blocking stuff that
the proud purveyors of content would otherwise deem that I must see.
