A search for:
128.232.0.31 axfr
brings up the one and only relevant hit.  Too bad the IP isn't a "word" or
this would be a googlewhack.

If you really are seeing persistent requests from them (they say you
shouldn't) then you ought to contact them, provide logs, and show them
that their probe may be malfunctioning.

  Our probe is very polite - if it has been turned away by a server, it
  will not normally contact that server again.
