Well I do quite a lot of stuff in there:

###
### ack_check_dkim: this ACL is used for checking DKIM
###

#
# acl_m2 set to zero on start for normal/full checks, set to 1 if
white-listed

        log_message = DKIM START: domain=$sender_address_domain

but nothing really DNS based ... ?

There are many more of the spurious lookups elsewhere like in the
content checks but the only DNS-ful part really is the second half of
acl_check_rcpt which perform:

    * Sender verify
    * Sender policy frame work
    * Local or callout recipient verify


like this:


    #
    # perform sender verify
    #
    require    verify = sender

    #
    # Sender Policy Framework
    #
    warn    spf = !none
        log_message = RCPT: SPF Result2=$spf_result
($sender_address_domain / $sender_fullhost)

    warn    set acl_m9 = 0

    warn    sender_domains = +spf_whitelist_domains
        spf = pass
        set acl_m9 = 1

    deny    spf = fail
        sender_domains = +spf_strict_domains
        message = Blocked by SPF\n$spf_smtp_comment
        log_message = RCPT: SPF fail for: $sender_address_domain and
listed for strict checking

    #
    # get the scan profile and store in ACL macro zero, defer if we
    # can't look it up
    #
    defer    condition = ${if \
                  or {\
                     {!def:acl_m0} \
                     {eq { ${acl_m0} } \
                         { LOOKUP_SCAN_PROFILE } \
                    } \
                                  } {0}{1} \
        }
        message = try this address in the next batch
        log_message = RCPT: Defer due to SCAN_PROFILE condition

    #
    # check if domain is in use
    #
    deny    condition = ${if eq {LOOKUP_ACTIVE_FLAG}{0}{1}{0}}
        message = Domain ($domain) is not in use for email
        log_message = RCPT: Domain ($domain) is not active for email


    # Accept if the address is in a local domain, but only if the
recipient can
    # be verified. Otherwise deny. The "endpass" line is the border between
    # passing on to the next ACL statement (if tests above it fail) or
denying
    # access (if tests below it fail).

            endpass

        endpass
        verify = recipient/callout=10s,defer_ok
        set acl_m0 = LOOKUP_SCAN_PROFILE

    #
    # If control reaches this point, the domain is neither in
+local_domains
    # nor in +relay_to_domains.
    #


    #
    # accept if the message comes from one of the hosts for which we are an
    # outgoing relay. Recipient verification is omitted here, because
in many
    # cases the clients are dumb MUAs that don't cope well with SMTP error
    # responses. If you are actually relaying out from MTAs, you should
probably
    # add recipient verification here.
    #
    accept    hosts = +relay_from_hosts
        log_message = RCPT: accepted after sender verify and in
+relay_from_hosts

    #
    # accept if the message arrived over an authenticated connection, from
    # any host. Again, these messages are usually from MUAs, so recipient
    # verification is omitted.
    #
    accept    authenticated = *
        log_message = RCPT: accept for authenticated user:
$authenticated_id

    #
    # reaching the end of the ACL causes a "deny", but we might as well
give
    # an explicit message.
    #
    deny    message = Mail relay not permitted
        log_message = RCPT: Denied mail relay (at end of ACL)

Ok, might be worth a go ...
