That happens to be the request the external IP address is making of your server, hammering it with DNS queries. The previous admin has taken action against this behavior by blocking the IP. Does it mean this asiomasbarato.com is sending out that it is hosted at my server?
No, it means your server is queried for the DNS record of asiomasbarato.com. To avoid such issues, you should disable 'recursion' in the named configuration file. Edit /etc/named.conf and add the following in the "options" section
