Old Domains - Getting Hit On My Server

Over the course of time I have had accounts cancelled and it seems those domains have not expired, however they are still pointing to my server. I am seeing thousands of hits per day and I would think this has to do something... how do I stop this suspect routing and the continuous hits? Sep 23 01:20:14 server named[20729]: client 210.182.125.29#29028: view external: query (cache) 'domainhere.com/A/IN' denied The IPs are different and there are again thousands of these for some of my old clients who must still let their domains route to my name servers if they have yet to expire. I have had a high server load today, not sure if this is the cause, so any help would be appreciated.

  DNS servers being hit by some other DNS servers? Add the following under options: blog.solidshellsecurity.com/2012/11/29/http-servers-pt-2-python/ blog.solidshellsecurity.com/2014/01/09/script-linux-server-create-binddns-records-template-script/ recursion no; additional-from-auth no; additional-from-cache no; This is a cPanel example: blog.solidshellsecurity.com/2012/06/12/force-cpanel-run-backup/ view "external" { /* This view will contain zones you want to serve only to "external" clients * that have addresses that are not on your directly attached LAN interface subnets: */ recursion no; additional-from-auth no; additional-from-cache no; Example 2: blog.solidshellsecurity.com/2014/08/18/recover-public-folders-office-365exchange-2013/ // global options apply to external clients options { recursion no; additional-from-auth no; additional-from-cache no; }; view "local" in { // view options enable recursion only for local clients match-clients { 172.16.45.80/23; 192.168.12.0/24; 127.0.0.1/8; ::1; }; recursion yes; additional-from-auth yes; additional-from-cache yes; zone "." in { type hint; file "/etc/bind/db.root"; }; // put definitions for zones like "localhost" and "127.in-addr.arpa" here } // put definitions for real authoritative zones here. Hope it will help you.

  Hi, I would also add a redirect specifically for the domains at '/home/.htaccess' to minimize the effects.
