Actually an automated process that would check the DNS details at inclusion date and a spider that would regularly check DNS details for each inclusion is a better way than relying on surfers. I've run a program to detect incidences of a particular linkswamp operation that buys up expired domains that are listed in the Dmoz RDF. It has something like 97K domains and I found approximately 1800 hits.

Surfers could help with reporting but the magnitude of the Dmoz directory requires a proper, automated system.
