One of our IP addresses is being probed by up to 8 of the 13 root dns servers 
every 15 seconds. I'm looking for input on how to contact the admins for the 
servers or perhaps a way to figure out if perhaps someone is spoofing the 
affected customer IP address, causing the root servers to send the following:

sh mls netflow ip destination 74.1.32.205 /32 module 2
Displaying Netflow entries in module 2
DstIP           SrcIP           Prot:SrcPort:DstPort  Src i/f          :AdjPtr

0            0             2     22:49:03   L3 - Dynamic
74.1.32.205     192.36.148.17   udp :dns    :1039     Fa2/11           :0x0
0            0             2     22:49:03   L3 - Dynamic


Is it practical to attempt to work the issue with the root server admins or is 
it quite likely this is spoofing and there's no hope to track this down?

Thanks,
Kris
