I also have these messages. after some investigation, I found the culprit. it
is a Win2k box that one of my coworkers put in one of my domains. it is getting
its IP addr from dhcp and whenever it does it tries to update a record for
itself on that particular domain. which is plain crazy since I don't allow
dynamic updates to this domain.

This is the default behavior on Win2k. You can turn it off from the TCP/IP
properties->Advanced->DNS. 

Just my 0.02euros.
