If it isn't one of your domains don't worry about it,
someone else around here will bother them soon enough,
unless you have some sort of additional sway with the
administrator of the domain the lame server is in, in which
case do hassle them.

Michael must know by now that BIND has an FAQ on the ISC
site, but it doesn't mention LAME servers *8)

Fortunately whole chunks of the DNS Resource Directory have
been dedicated to lame servers, as well as RFC1912.

The error also occurs where certain gaps appear in the DNS
reverse lookup, the fix here is to get the reverse lookup
set up correctly.

PS: Is anyone routinely running "lamers" or similar these
days..... I saw the DNS spring cleaning project....
