Sounds suspiciously like you've got a wildcard entry somewhere. Without
knowing basically anything about how your nameserver is configured,
though, that's just a wild guess.
You said you were going to change your zone info at your registrar. Does
this imply that you have a zone that you want to serve to the outside
world? Do queries for names in *that* zone return the correct
information? That would kind of support the wildcard theory, since
authoritative data overrides wildcards.
