+         If the IN-ADDR.ARPA name covered refers to a internal address
+         space you are using then you have failed to follow RFC 1918
+         usage rules and are leaking queries to the Internet.  You
+         should establish your own zones for these addresses to prevent
+         you quering the Internet's name servers for these addresses.
+         Please see <ulink url="http://as112.net/">http://as112.net/</ulink>
+         for details of the problems you are causing and the counter
+         measures that have had to be deployed.

+         If you are not using these private addresses then a client
+         has queried for them.  You can just ignore the messages,
+         get the offending client to stop sending you these messages
+         as they are most probably leaking them or setup your own zones
+         empty zones to serve answers to these queries.
