Silly me, I've always believed that people setup nameservers because 
they want their resources to be found.  Having one the parents of your 
zone point to a random machine of yours, which you then use to serve 
crap records, strikes me as somewhat counterproductive.  And I really 
fail to see why whomever runs the parent zone would even notice.  So I 
rather suspect that the log messages which so traumatize Wojciech would 
continue.

Problem not solved.
