There's no such thing as an AXFR record.  When you specify AXFR as the
record type in dig, it's a request to perform a zone transfer of the entire
domain (the same thing as "ls" in nslookup).

To be of more help you're going to have to post the domain and the exact
complaint he got from InterNIC, not "some DNS thing".
