Again true, assuming response time is less than local DNS to local forwarder

Someone did....and got ridiculed....(again, assuming we're ONLY taking about
DNS resolution speeds....)

I can't help but think that you're not only referring to DNS resolution, but
including something else in your argument (eg...the assumption that most
spam will use different DNS names, therefore not be in the local DNS cache,
but WILL be in the public (OpenDNS, GoogleDNS) cache....), in which case I
would agree
