Comment: the line after the blank one is a German line probably due to
my Windows (XP home) being in G., it seems to me that it means that
what follows is not quite 'official' - or something like that.
Litterally: "not authorized answer" (may-be not exactly, my English
might be not good enough and the ambiguities might differ in both
languages.) But may-be this is not important.
  [ ... ]

That's probably "not an authoritative response", meaning that the DNS
server which provided the information wasn't the one actually responsible
for the domain, but one which retrieved the information and had it cached.
It's nothing unusual, and does not indicate a problem.
