How bout asking admin@....net? You likely have some spy/ad/pay ware on 
client machines. See lop.com and others.

There's crap traffic on port 53 all the time, I get speedera ping-like 
traffic on my port 53 several times a day. It's a verifiable swarm but 
no one at att, verio, uunet, whatever seem to care. My cable ISP told 
me I could start legal action. Yeah right. This is probably a common 
occurance.

I think you're mixing up two different issues here.
