Any ideas why I get these error messages in the /var/log/messages?

I am having a lot of these entries.
They seem to relate to internal netbios names of PCs I used to have in my private LAN (nt4s and serge2). And the flfrd1.on.wave.home.com is the old DNS used by the Roger's @home ISP when I was using them. In fact my external IP was mapped to this dns with the Rogers@home server name added in the front (I can't remember exactly what it was then but it was something like:
ab23456-a.flfrd1.on.wave.home.com)
I have NOT been using the @home service since Nov 2001 and have since moved to te Bell Sympatico DSL service.
I did a NSLookup on the 210.120.66.204 and it is mapped to ns1.home.nl.
Why would a nameserver on the @home ISP in the Netherlands be causing entries in my logs?
Ideas? Comments?
Serge.
