That's what Spamhaus does. They made rbldnsd serve v6 CIDRs like it serves v4. Apropos of Steve's comment about blowing caches, I did some simulations a while ago of various ways to publish v6 DNSBLs. I was surprised to find that even v4 BL queries aren't cached much. There's a handful of heavily used cache entries for hosts that send lots of mail, and a long tail of IPs that are hit once or twice and then never again. Also, anyone who uses BLs at scale has local mirrors, and querying a local mirror is as fast as querying a local cache.
