[may be OT] What is the meaning of this error from dnsreport ?

As a preliminary step for some work I need to do on a client's site, on some
firewall networking and rules setup for the DMZ (including TCP 53 for DNS
servers communications restrictions), I ran a dnsreport on my client's domain
name:
http://dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=<my-cllent's-domain>.com
and I got this error:
FAIL Missing nameservers 2 ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the
parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem
NS records are: <ns-of-ISP-hosting-secondary-server>
My client is hosting his DNS primary server in house, with the secondary setup
at the ISP, and the dnsreport did not come up with any other errors, so:
- the parents server report them both as authoritative
- a change I have forced - out of curiosity - on the serial number on my
client's hosted name server showed up at the secondary, so they are "aware"
of each other.
Having described the above - what could be the cause of the problem reported
by dnsreport.com (i.e. is that a mis-configuration at my client's site, or at
the ISP's name server)?
TIA,
Stefan
