It means that when the secondary server tried to query the SOA record from
the primary server, it got an error or the query timed out.  You will have
to investigate further to find out what's causing the error or timeout.

Check your log for nearby messages that may give more details, like
'[x.x.x.x] not authoritative for "C.B.A.in-addr.arpa"', which usually means
there's a syntax error in the DB file on the primary server.
