Per a prior Kevin Goodknecht post:

This is apparently a problem with doubleclick.net, there has been a rash of
these errors from these DNS servers posted in the past months. I usually
recommend just blocking these servers at your firewall since these queries
are probably being made by ad ware. I have not had any feed back from the
users in the past stating that blocking these addresses have had an adverse
affect anything you would want. Unless you like getting pop up ads.
