To my knowledge, it scales quite well. We maintain a list of regex
server-name patterns that we consider 'dodgy' as well as a whitelist. 
If a reverse lookup matches one of these patterns, we greylist.  There
are some more checks, e.g. on the HELO, but the reverse mapping is the
main one.  We run this on a cluster of some 45-46 boxes.  The list of
patterns is fairly stable.
