There is something wrong with the master name server for fallon.com.
It's giving non-authoritative answers for that zone (=> refusing zone
transfer requests) when it should be authoritative for the domain.
Check the name server logs on that system. There's probably an error
like an illegal host name in the zone file for fallon.com. This will
be reported in the logs if logging hasn't been messed up.
