	A lame server is when a machine is listed as being a server
	but is not configured as such.  The master can also be
	reported as lame if it had an error loading the zone file.

	hispirit.org.au is delegated to carlton.acci.COM.AU,
	lynx.aba.NET.AU and ocelot.aba.NET.AU.  None of these is
	configured as a server for this zone.  The name that was
	being attempted to be looked up was www.hispirit.org.au.

	Complain to contacts for the zone.  According to whois -h
	whois.aunic.net they are Mark Lowndes and Michael Paddon.
	The have been Bcc'd.

	This is not an error.  You recieved a answer which said
	the real answer is at 44.0/25.236.1.209.in-addr.arpa but
	there was no RR of the type requested.  In this case the
	site is implementing classless in-addr.
