Forgot about that:
existing DNSBL modules can be used. The BASE of the DNSBL would be
in-addr.arpa and the meaning of the existance of a TXT record would have
to be inverted.

This approach would also fix a lot of other DNS problems :-)) because
everyone would start to take a lot of care about their RR zones (which
they currently do not, as Bill Mannings statistics show very clearly).
