 Blackhole is an authorized server for RFC 1918 address space.
 It appears your DNS,Firewall combo is correctly recognizing 
 blackhole as the authorized server for these queries in the public
 Internet and is attempting to send queries there but is blocked.

 To me, it seems that your not quite "air-tight" and Internet information
 is leaking into your private network.
