It's possible that the server is one of the automated ones run by one of the IP
assigners like RIPE. I've spoken to people at RIPE about this before and
they have at least one server that attempts zone transfers from all DNS
servers that are on RIPE assigned addresses and listed as the
primary/secondary for domains in the NIC records to build statistics of hosts
and servers in use.
