Unapproved recursive queries

Hello,

We are seeing entries of the following type on our slave name server
(dns1.plymouth.ac.uk):

29-Sep-2000 05:07:39.055 security: notice: unapproved recursive query from
[198.83.19.247].53 for area51.termisoc.org
29-Sep-2000 07:25:10.385 security: notice: unapproved recursive query from
[163.121.199.3].53 for www.termisoc.org


What I cannot understand is why. We don't allow recursive queries through
our servers for non-local users, but the 'termisoc.org' domain lists its own
name servers, and our master (dns0.plymouth.ac.uk) as authoritative. So why
are requests going to the slave server?

Thanks,

John.
