The 1.200.203.in-addr.arpa domain has been delegated to 202.54.12.60.  When
your server queries that server, instead of getting an answer or a referral
to a server for a subdomain, it gets a referral back to the servers for the
parent domain.  This is a type of lame delegation.

Unless you're responsible for either 203.200/16 or 200.203.1/24 there's
nothing you can do about it and you should just ignore it.
