In summary, what he means is this:

You have a (perhaps legacy) DNS server running as dns3.tensor.gdynia.pl 
(RRs snipped for brevity):

pearl# dig aaaa dns3.tensor.gdynia.pl
dns3.tensor.gdynia.pl.  21682   IN      AAAA    2001:4070:101:2::1

...which appears to be the same IP address as your workstation.

pearl# dig AAAA wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl
wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl. 4732   IN      AAAA    2001:4070:101:2::1

...however, any attempt to gather information from dns3. simply fails, 
due to your administrative policy (named not allowing outside networks).

I'm willing to bet that you will see attempts from 2607:f118::b6 (or 
::b7) in your workstation logs as rejected for AAAA lookups.

I don't see any reference to dns3. in the WHOIS, so perhaps it has been 
removed recently.

Any provider who still has this dns3 server listed as a possible 
authoritative name server may round-robin to it and produce the logs on 
your workstation you are witnessing. It is very possible that this 
server is still listed as a NS for the domain and I just didn't look 
hard enough for it.

FYI (IMHO), this type of question would be better suited for 
freebsd-net at . You would likely have far more eyes on your question over 
there by people who focus primarily on this sort of thing.
