I can see a couple of obvious approaches for getting Neulevel's =
attention
- Their web site lists two Registry Relationship Managers, one with =
popup contact info
Ivor Sequeira - Senior Manager, European, African, and Middle Eastern =
Regions
571-434-5776 ivor.sequeira@neulevel.biz
(That appears to be +1-571-434-5776 ...)
- Their whois entry for neulevel.biz lists
+1.5714345757 as their phone number, fax +1.5714345758,
and snailmail address list.

DOMAIN&Search=3DSubmit+Query
- They've got a snailmail address, you've got a lawyer and Fedex,=20
they've got a Nasty Letter.... Since the requests to use
your DNS server were bogus, you could probably file a John Doe suit
and do discovery on Neulevel, but a Nasty Letter is probably enough.
- They've got an online trademark dispute process.
It's got pointers to ICANN dispute resolution mechanisms,
which are more likely to get their attention than random email.
Their entry point is stopsupport@neulevel.biz
Normally, if somebody registers that=20
annoying-little-spammer.com has nameserver 1.2.3.4,
you'd be using this to complain that you own the name
annoying-little-spammer.com, but you could try using it
to complain that you own 1.2.3.4, and maybe even contend that
since the registrant falsely listed you as the nameserver for the =
domain,
that it's theft of service and you ought to be awarded ownership of the =
name.
- You might also drop a note to ICANN about the lack of a phone number
on their web site and the lack of email responsiveness.
- Personally I like the suggestion that someone had that you
start serving DNS for the fake names, either pointing to 127.0.0.3
or to a CNAME pointing to Annoying-spammers-forged-their-DNS-again.com,
which is some disposable address block on which you run a web site=20
and stub email server explaining that it's not your fault.
