xfer-in.log errors

[Kevin Darcy]

Like many other TCP-based protocols, "connection refused" means there's 
nothing listening on the relevant port, and "resetting" means something 
bad happened to a connection which was already in progress.

The only DNS-specific error in there is "REFUSED" which, indeed, means 
that the remote server has been administratively configured to disallow 
transfer of that particular zone to you (possibly you are not authorized 
to transfer *any* zones from them). Contact the administrator(s) of 
216.87.84.209 if you want them open up zone transfers to you.
