"maniac.net" spoils our life every ten minutes...

Dear managers,

it's already the third day as our name server is "attacked" by "Lame
delegation to 'maniac.net' from [199.0.70.21]" (or .23) every ten minutes...
(an expressive domain name, isn't it?).
I know that such messages are possible sometimes as a result of an error
in authority delegation in some master files (and I receive some from time
to time), but such persistency - discourages me!

I had a look at the servers authoritative for maniac.net domain (there are
two - NS-PRIME.CHARM.NET and NS-BIS.CHARM.NET), and yesterday sent e-mail
to the administrator whose address I see in their SOA RR... - to no avail!

Of course, I could prohibit receiving everything from these addresses,
nevertheless I consider this way not fully correct since it may be useful
information - it's DNS anyhow...

Thanks,
Irene.
