Are your nameservers in the first class C of your CIDR block by any
chance???  They have been taking CIDR blocks and squirting out 
Class C equivilents.

Sadly, many poeple (including me) think, oooh, nice big CDIR block lets
put all my important boxes in it's first Class C... Seems to be a 
very bad descision ;-(
