Do they only have DNS03 in their list? Or the others as well? In the latter 
case, shutting down DNS03 should be no problem (after some delay the clients 
will try the next DNS server).

What about sending an email to those users? If they defined the DNS servers 
manually they should know what to do. I don't see any automatic way to 
achieve what you are looking for. Especially, what do you do if the request 
does not come from a web browser but from any other application? DNS does not 
know which kind of application issued the request.
