Excessive query by open DNS

This seems excessive, making me think I have something setup wrong.
http://juliansummerhill.com/ is a client who is no longer using this
domain, I can not get him to take the time to edit his whois data and
remove my NS from this listing.
In my query log I see a few hits every minute for it, I just noticed,
if I ask Safari to load that domain, it sits and chews on it, but the
query log gets hit many times. Seems all browsers do it actually.
Is this normal, or is there something I have set wrong, and should
look into changing?
Here are some stats:
tail -f query.log | grep 'juliansummerhill' >> ~/Desktop/hit.txt
( So, read the log, only get what I want out of it, and send it out to
a file for analysis )
* The above was run only during the time I loaded the single url in
Safari
cat hit.txt | wc -l
119
119 total queries for the attempt to load one URL. Almost all the
IP's are openDNS, which I am using here at home. Should I contact them
and ask them why they are doing this, or is this normal behavior?
Actually, 98% of them were openDNS, and 2% were comcast.
Thanks
