No. While what they did may seem intrusive, it's no more illegal than running nslookup against your domain name. Their reason for doing so is perfectly legal as well. As the operator of an adult site, you can expect this. Being added to a proxy's smut filter is the (HTTP) equivalent of being added to the (SMTP) ORBS database. Not alot you can do about it.
BIND 8 supports the 'allow-transfer' directive to restrict which hosts can AXFR your zone files. If you want to let other people to download your zone, you may even just negate surfcontrol's IP block.
