I'm caching this in the SQL database in out filter at <http://whatever.frukt.org/>.
(Our filter was allready using a local SQL database for other stuff.)

I do a check against the servers to validate senders (if from our locally served domains) as well as recipients, and caching helps lower the load when some idiotic piece of software tries to send to or from the same invalid address 40 times in 20 seconds...
