This is a good advice if the error is *local*. If it is remote, you
cannot do a lot: sure you can write people but my experience with
email to DNS administrators is that you'll get a bounce or simply a
complete silence (TLD administrators are not different in that
respect). The DNS administrators who reply to email are typically not
the ones who have configuration problems :-}

For your own servers, rather than relying on BIND errors, why not
using Zonecheck? http://www.zonecheck.fr/
