You seem to have restricted your named to which adresses it wants to answer queries to.

Then an old customer of yours are trying to use your nameserver, but isn't allowed to. No worry.

If you get messages regarding somebody trying to _update_ your dns, then you need to start worrying...

I once had this, it was because some NT was thinking it was authoritative over a domain of ours, which it wasn't. They had just used a domainname which were their compamy name for their internal network, and never bothered to check if it was taken, when they got online.
