The following is a snippet posted by Mark Andrews from ISC in the
comp.protocols.dns.bind newsgroup:

This is becoming a FAQ.

You have a client trying to lookup relays.monkeys.com (a dead anti-spam
list)
which has a bad server with a CLASS E addressess.

* Mark the server as bogus.
* Fix the broken MTA generating the queries.

Mark

server 244.254.254.254 {
        bogus yes;
};
