If not, usually you can configure a forwarder to get rid of this. See if it

It means that if you are delegating a child zone to another DNS, then that
other DNS needs to be in the NS records for the delegation, not your server,
unless you are delegating the subzone to yourself, such as what the _msdcs
zone does in Windows 2003.
