My guess is that this is the equivalent of BIND 8's "sysctl: findns error
(NXDOMAIN) on xlemail1.XXXXXX.com", which you can find in the error message
translator at <http://www.acmebw.com/askmrdns/bind-messages.htm>.

Basically, it means that some domain is delegated to xlemail1.XXXXXX.com,
but when you tried to resolve that hostname to an address you got an
NXDOMAIN error code, meaning that the name doesn't exist.
