We should move this thread to spf-devel.

This sounds good, but there might be a problem with SPF domains that use

|       SPFUnknown - 127.0.0.16
|       SPFError - 127.0.0.32

No record found should be SPFNone, SPFPass should be coded.

libspf-alt has a binary-format caching mechanism, you might want to look
at that also.
