195.92.232.69 is trying to perform a zone transfer from you server.  The
request wasn't approved because your server is not a master or slave server
for the zone (that's what the part in parentheses means).

Why they're trying to transfer from your server is a mystery to me.  They
could be confused, or maybe you're their default server and they forgot to
specify a server when trying to list the domain.  If you want to know, find
the people in charge of that machine and ask them.
