This is exactly the situation. A domain owner has discontinued their
services, but left the domain pointing to our DNS Servers, or sometimes,
just pointed to us for no apparent reason.

There is no mechanism for Authoritative DNS Server owners to have lame
delegations removed by the registries, so I either have to put up with
the continuous query/retry traffic, or I have to actually create a zone
just so there's a means to return NXDOMAIN with a TTL. Neither solution
is good, and the second one, while probably justifiable, does not feel
"legit" to me, and results in longer-term data maintenance issues.
