I distinctly remember reading a while back that just setting the
scores to 0 on the DNS blacklist rules would disable the scoring
rules, but would not prevent the queries from running. I even had
the score lines you suggested in my local.cf file, but they were
commented out and replaced by the lines I posted. Maybe something
has changed since then.

Ned, you forgot to meta out __RCVD_IN_DNSWL to actually prevent the
DNS query at all.
The "meta out" phrasing refers to the need to redefine the predicate
rule since you can't disable it with a score.
Actually, you can. The line I have in my local.cf is:
score __RCVD_IN_ZEN 0
While it should, theoretically, have no effect on a non-scored sub-rule,
it does stop the query from running (as long as you also disable the
other rules that rely on it).
