But it's also not in paid DNSBL operators interest to improve the hit ratio. If the cache hit ratio is improved too much, the DNSBL operators would be unable to detect heavy users and ask (threaten) them for money. :) In the limiting case, if the cache becomes *too* effective, the organization hosting the cache *is* effectively providing the whole data set to its users.
