DNS question

    We used to have a client that we hosted their domains on our DNS.  
They have moved to a different host a while ago - like months ago.  Now 
suddenly, in the past 48 hours, I'm seeing a bunch of these in my logs:


named[1920]: client 216.199.46.11#58010: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/A/IN' denied
named[1920]: client 70.46.90.166#1064: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/A/IN' denied
named[1920]: client 208.109.78.200#31909: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/MX/IN' denied
named[1920]: client 38.102.229.30#32772: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/MX/IN' denied
named[1920]: client 208.53.147.132#41941: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/CNAME/IN' denied
named[1920]: client 70.46.90.166#1064: query (cache) 
'travelhacker.com/MX/IN' denied

    I have bind setup to deny recursive lookups, and it's doing what 
it's supposed to do there.  However, is there any harm being done here?  
Should I be looking into some way to have this stopped somehow?
