No doubt it is! Like I said, it is not a big deal! Is not that people are able to re-route anything. That just happens because my resolver is pointed to the internal localhost first. No one in the internet can see my website pointed to his localhost and resolve to his domain. I can see that because when I log to his domain, it goes to my internal resolver and appears that I am logged to his domain and after that I am starting to see my website being served from there.

I know how it is happening and my concern was if that could generate any technical or security problems on my site.

And less A records if they don't intend to do anything but email. But 
it's an imperfect world.
