I believe USC-ISIB used to be listed as a top-level domain server.  If
some hosts still contain USC-ISIB and 10.3.0.52 in their nameserver
configurations, that might explain the continued attempts to
communicate with the "non-existent host".  (I did find one host behind
MITGW for which this is true.)
