I would :)
However Phishtank publishes a full xml file which with some tweaking
could be converted into a plain text list of domains or urls for direct
use with squid.

I'm not sure realtime lookups via the google or phishtank api could keep
up with caches serving over 100 requests/sec.
By the way, haven't a DNSBL for this purpose been discussed previously?
