Don't worry about these. They just mean that a DNS server claims to be
able to give authoratative data for a domain and then gives out
unauthoratative data. The server doing the query spits out these lame
delegation warnings. If you download bind-4.9.3BETA26.tar.gz from
ftp.vix.com, there is a script in there which will allow you to go
through your /var/log/messages and send warning messages to the admins
of the domains concerned.

You ought to see the /var/log/messages on who.cdrom.com (the
nameserver that serves all of cdrom.com and also freebsd.org - the
lists on freebsd.org hit the DNS hard and often point out DNS bugs,
like lame delegations)... the number of lame delegations it finds in a
day is astounding.
