I don't know if that is appropriate at all.  Bear in mind that in some
situations, a sufficiently high score would result in the mail being bounced! 
If going over a URIBL query limit results in all mail coming in to your site
bouncing, that's a very serious problem. :(

I would be in favour of a well-known test endpoint: "blocked.multi.uribl.com".
for most queries that would return "0.0.0.0" with a long TTL.  for sites
blocked due to too many queries, that would return "255.255.255.255" with a
long TTL.  These are very cacheable and would be extremely low-load.  This
provides a way for clients like SA to query and determine if a caller is
overloading the servers; in that situation we can issue warnings, fire
informational rules, log stuff to the syslogs etc.
