Drat, sorry, hit return too early:

Basically it means a client made a query for the SOA record of the 
nik.cyp.net zone, and the flags (as per the URL above):

"""...reports whether the Recursion Desired flag was set (+ if set, - if 
not set), if the query was signed (S), EDNS was in use (E), if DO 
(DNSSEC Ok) was set (D), or if CD (Checking Disabled) was set (C)."""
