The server with this IP address is not authoritative for the required zone

Not the strongest with DNS. I am simply trying to change current DNS forwarders to point from one external company to the other for DNS protection.

I am seeing that changing DNS forwarders for the main domain is not an issue, simply remove the old ones and add the new IPS for the external DNS server and get the nice green check marks and traffic flows.

There are couple of conditional forwarders setup in this domain, I am trying to add IP address of the new external party ( similar to what I did with the forwarders change for the main domain that did got the green checks after the change )  for these conditional forwarders but I am getting  X sign next to IP address with the error - "The server with this IP address is not authoritative for the required zone". WHy is this error popping up and what to do to fix it so I get a green check mark ?

Where is the domain's Start of Authority DNS server located?

Are you able to poll the destination domain's DNS server(s) for a list of DNS servers that can then be used in the conditional forwarder rule?
