In the old days when there was just one registrar, you could do

whois host <hostname>

to get the NIC handle for the host, and then

whois server <handle>

to see a list of all the domains that list the host as a server.  
However, the latter feature no longer seems to exist.

I suggest you contact your domain registrar, and ask them if they can 
find out where the host record came from, and get it removed.

P.S. What does this have to do with BIND?  There's a generic DNS-related 
newsgroup, comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains.
