Well from the way I understand you use BOPM, you are going to see a
new user every time a user joins via netsplit.  BOPM is then going
to do a DNS query for that user against all blacklsts you have
configured.

If you have 1600 users appear via net join then you might well do
1600 DNS queries at once, which may use up all the resources on the
machine running BOPM.
