Whatever you come up with, it practically always has a downside:
spammers can get the whole list as well.

Image an open-proxy-dnsbl being distributed via peer to peer or via
distributed means as usenet. Spammers would love it as they no longer
have to scan for themselves, same for open relays. 

Most of the large open proxy dnsbls in existence already offer their
zones to essentially anyone via rsync.
