Newbie: When does zone transfer kick in?

What I currently get from a request for type=ANY is:

Non-authoritative answer:
tourneyland.net	nameserver = NS1.TOURNEYLAND.COM
tourneyland.net	nameserver = NS2.tourneyland.net

Authoritative answers can be found from:
tourneyland.net	nameserver = NS1.TOURNEYLAND.COM
tourneyland.net	nameserver = NS2.tourneyland.net
NS2.tourneyland.net	internet address = 216.62.177.3

This is not consistent with what you have said.  You may wish to query
the InterNIC again.
