I did the same and so far it is still working:
cbl.abuseat.org
dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net
web.dnsbl.sorbs.net
relays.dnsbl.sorbs.net
rhsbl.dnsbl.sorbs.net
bl.spamcop.net
list.dsbl.org
zen.spamhaus.org

So far today, they blocked:
           bl.spamcop.net :  13188 (  5 %)
          cbl.abuseat.org : 131946 ( 57 %)
      dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net :  57306 ( 25 %)
            list.dsbl.org :   1320 (  0 %)
   relays.dnsbl.sorbs.net :     42 (  0 %)
      web.dnsbl.sorbs.net :   1225 (  0 %)
         zen.spamhaus.org :  24122 ( 10 %)

Even though Zen is called last it still blocks 10% of all connections...

Maybe they are more lenient if you don't query addresses that can be 
found in CBL? I also run a caching nameserver.

Some of my sorbs lists don't seem to block much... but using 
safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net was blocking too many legit servers...
