ns_resp: query(www.bonnellandson.com)

[Nyborg, Dana]

Hi everyone;
	Wandering if someone can help with this question.  I have taken over
responsibility for the name server for a local ISP.  As is the case here, a
new domain name has been registered using my name servers.  The potential
customer just forgot to let me know about it.  I see entries in my DNS
syslogs like the one below on a regular basis:

Jun 15 00:05:22 opal named[20584]: ns_resp: query(www.bonnellandson.com)
contains our address (OPAL.NBNET.NB.CA:198.164.30.2) learnt
(A=nbnet.nb.ca:NS=195.8.99.11)

The question is;  Where are these queries initiated from?  Are the roots /
Internic checking to see if the zone files have been setup and that there
are valid SOAs?

Thanks in advance...
