After keeping an eye on the response times from the name servers, I 
haven't found any problems,  at least that I see.

With the name server(s) that I consistently have this problem with 
(207.69.188.186, .187) the average latency (reported by the new 
DNSResponseLog feature) is around 70ms, with nothing higher 100ms. With 
OpenDNS (which works fine for RBL), the average is around 50ms.

Question though, if the problem were a timeout (which I don't think it 
is judging by the above results), why would a timeout default to a RBL 
test failure and not pass?
