Not only is this poor form on your end, because you will hammer the other server, but it's also a terrible waste of resources etc on your end.
I can recommend looking into a more fully fledged solution for RSS, such as Chio's stuff, or 'Magpie RSS'

Thanks for the recommendations, I sure won't continue using rss2html anymore when there is a risk like this involved. In this case both the feed and the script were on my server, so it's going to be easy (although time consuming) to do it manually. But I will definitely look into the alternative options you gave me. Thanks!
