i figure it just adds to the nic's overload.  so, when i find a domain
which has been lamely delegated to one of my servers, i just put in an
authoritative zone for it with a short ttl soa and a wildcard mx

*    MX  0 some.schmuck.lame.delegated.to.the.host.name.

or the analogous PTR for in-addr zones.

it immediately stops any overload on my server and usually gets fixed
fairly quickly, no muss no fuss.
