My opinion of OpenDNS:  I sent them my resume.  They never got back to
me.  Not exactly impressive.

I just added a FAQ entry yesterday:

http://www.maradns.org/faq.html#phishing

Yes.

Here is a webpage that explains how its done:

Probably.  Can you program in Perl?  There's a ready-made script to do
this with malwaredomains.org (see above=; it shouldn't be too
difficult to modify it to work with other blacklists.  Converting it
is left as an exercise for the reader.  :)
