So after reading the entire thread, am I right in assuming that one of 
multi.surbl.org's DNS servers is having it's cache poisoned, and thusly 
the receiving mail server that is rejecting  our user's email based on 
the poisoned return from SURBL?

Our DNS servers are returning NXDOMAIN for twitter.com.multi.surbl.org.

Very interesting reading though.

Thanks Jethro.
