Hello,
The machine sending the queries is probably configured to use your server as a complete DNS resolver and transfer all its queries to your server.Umm...I don't *have* a server at that address. In fact, there is no live host at all at that address. *That*, after all, is the entire point of this thread.
Understood, but this doesn't prevent someone from making a mistake when creating its configuration file... and if the resolver has more than one host (including yours), then failure from your machine will simply let him skip to next host, which in fact only slows down DNS resolution. Thus, people are likely to live with a broken configuration for long... Collect the source IP(s), find the admin and send him an email...
