Has anyone seen this listed in their domains: */24

In one hour it had been requested over 500 times and I am not able to figure out what it is. The IP log on my router is not large so it has already been removed.

  This is some networking application raising exactly these bad lookups.

  You can do this manually as well:   nslookup */24
  Executing this several times would add a few more requests to your stats.

  I know what it is, but I don't tell you. ;-)
  Just kidding, this is your network, not mine. How could I know what applications you have running in your network?

  I'm seeing this as well.  700 hits for */24.  I'm wondering if it might be the opendns agent.

  "I'm wondering if it might be the opendns agent."

  There is no "opendns agent", therefore it cannot be this.  And the OpenDNS Updater raises lookups against myip.opendns.com only, not against */24.
