We're doing real-time checking.  It certainly has a performance hit.  We
tried caching but the hit rate was incredibly low -- the overwhelmingly
vast majority of addresses you'll get are randomly made-up invalid
addresses -- so it wasn't worth the extra code and codepaths and we ripped
it out with no noticeable difference.

I might be able to show you some code but I'd need to get permission, and
it's not really very good code anyway ;)
