Atually, reading your reply (which is the same as my own, pretty much), I figure the guy asked a question and he has a real problem. Assuming he doesn't want to clean them up is not nice of us. Luke: It is possible the DNS queries made are for non existent domains, fake replies, perhaps even making them something in 1918 space, and they MAY stop being not nice netizens.
