Spamhaus Override

Hello all,
I would imagine many of you are as concerned as I about the Illinois 
court order 
(http://www.spamhaus.org/archive/legal/e360/kocoras_order_6_10.pdf) that 
threatens to rescind Spamhaus's domain name via ICANN.  As the operator 
of a small but significant (to my clients, at any rate) resolving 
nameserver, what can I change in my configuration in order to keep 
spamhaus.org resolving?  Is something as kludgy as a source patch 
required to override resolution of a domain, or can I do something fancy 
with my configuration?  Ideally there is something I can do to my 
nameserver that will have the same effect on resolution for my clients 
that a change to my hosts file would have on my own box.
I hope for the sake of my inbox that I'm not the only one contemplating 
such solutions...
