yes

Are you running a local non-forwarding,
caching DNS server?

I have a Plesk installation and am using the DNS server as provided by Plesk. The nameservers are ns1.smallgod.net <http://ns1.smallgod.net>, ns2.smallgod.net <http://ns2.smallgod.net>


Immediately below the question linked to on that page is how to disable
these rules, as you asked.  However, unless you are, in fact, running a
site with quite a lot of email (over 100,000 queries per day), there is
probably a better solution.

I am not sure if I have 100,000+ queries per day. I guess it is possible. The server has 270 domains and they all use the same name server. Is there a way to check with dnswl.org <http://dnswl.org> the number of queries and where they are coming from?

If you are using the smallgod.net nameservers, then the query limit is based on ALL queries coming from their servers. This is why it is recommended to use a caching nameserver. This way, you have your own DNS server and your own query limit instead of being lumped together with all the other users of a shared server.

For info on how to set up a local caching DNS server look at this page:
